Abstract
Language conversion is a laborious process. Achieving the maximum efficiency of conversion without compromising the quality of converted system is the programmers´ dream. This paper illustrates the quest for this trade-off by a case study. We consider an industrial reengineering project, which included translation of a client/server system written in a proprietary language into two different programming languages. We also discuss various factors that affect the automation level of language conversions
