And if we're talking "ready to release" LOC then 10 LOC is actually in the ball park IMHO. In the final analysis coding is, or should be, the shorted phase of the lifecycle | |
| Nov 21, 2012 at 9:17 | comment | added | SK-logic | @KristofProvost, a 1-to-1 translation is normally a starting point for a lengthy and painful refactoring process. But it is necessary to get something working first. And in all the translation projects I met, the main motivation was in ageing of the original toolchain (e.g., PL/I to C++) and lack of confidence in its future. Clean and idiomatic code had never been a top priority in such projects. | |
| Nov 20, 2012 at 21:23 | comment | added | Kristof Provost | @SK-logic If you're doing a 1-to-1 translation from one language to another you're doing it wrong. What's the point of switching to (for example) Python if you're just going to write Perl-style in Python? | |
| Apr 5, 2012 at 14:48 | comment | added | SK-logic | @cjmUK, it does not matter at all. Number of language-specific constructs and translation methods is limited and small, and so, translation process is always predictable. I know it for sure, I've participated in many translation projects (even for such an exotic translation as fortran to C++). | |
| Apr 5, 2012 at 14:27 | comment | added | cjmUK | @SK-logic - Each line in a translated source document will generally be mapped to a single line in the target document - it's a very linear mapping. When it comes to software, it is unlikely that two programming languages are similar enough in structure and capability to be able to expect the same. There will likely be numerous areas where savings could be made, and some areas, where you will have comparatively more code to write. | |

| Jan 26, 2011 at 12:30 | comment | added | SK-logic | It's not a correct analogy. It is perfectly fine to ask a translator of how many pages of an English text he can translate into German in one week. And they're porting an application from one language/platform to another, kinda similar thing to a translation. | |
