<<I'm looking for an Ada to C translator (I like Ada but due to the
processor we have selected for a project, there is only a C compiler
available).  Do you know where I might find such an animal?>>

Nope, no such beast is available, and none is likely to be available!
What processor are you using, it is quite surprising if your statement
about only a C compiler being available is correct. There are some
processors with no Ada compiler, but not many, and almost none with
no GCC, and thus no GNAT port in reach. 

Depending on the size of the project, it may be less work and less
expense to acquire an Ada compiler for your processor, than to persue
the translation approach.
