Questions tagged [code-translation]

For questions regarding the translation of code from one programming language to another. NOTE that asking to have your code translated is not suitable for Stack Overflow.

Translating code from one programming language to another can be as tricky as translating between natural languages. This is due to the fact that languages implement different sets of features and are often designed with very different goals. What comes as a built-in function in one language may have to be developed from scratch (or at least require a library) to achieve the same functionality in another.

An appropriately formed question might be "How do I translate this statement", or "What are the differences between these two statements in different languages". It is not appropriate to ask for your code to be translated.

How to switch between 2 languages with a button and not a dropdown with WPML?

It's silly to have dropdown when you have only two languages. Makes sense if there are more. I want to have just a simple button that will switch to the other language and I can't find any guide on google.

Is there any way to write a compiler front end without using syntax-directed translation?

Any C compiler with C output?

We all know that C compilers spit out assembly. However I am doing research where my tool only accepts a narrow subset of ANSI C. Is there any C-to-C translators out there that can inline functions or flatten struct's, but writes out C code? Any…
