System for Translating Diverse Programming Languages

摘要

A computer language translator that translates all or any portion thereof of source code in an original computer language to source code in a target computer language, which may then be translated back to the original language while still maintaining concept, syntax, form of expression, and formatting of the original source code. The translator may take the form of a tool that resides on a server such that the user may select file of source code corresponding to desired functionality and the user may indicate which computer language the file should provided in. The tool will then translate the selected file to the desired computer language.

主权项

1. A computer language translation application for converting a first Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) computer language source code to a second OOP computer language source code, the system comprising:
software executing on a computer, said software including: a translation module having specific language knowledge of the first and second OOP computer languages; an emulated Application Programming Interface (API) library module to facilitate mapping of functions in the first and second OOP computer languages, said API library having:
data indicative of types of data manipulations of the first OOP computer language source code;second computer language API equivalent functions callable by said second computer language; said translation module utilizing the specific language knowledge and said API library and correlating the type of data manipulation the first OOP computer language source code performs to second OOP computer language source code; and a generation module generating second OOP computer language source code.
