I can't speak for MetaScribe.    If you are looking for tools
that can carry out source-to-source program transformations
on specifications and or convenitional code,
you might consider the DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit.

See http://www.semanticdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html

All of its documentation is in English :-}
