Hi Ricardo, Alberto, We need some translation ware to support this. As part of EPF or as an external tool/utility. The objective of doing translation work should be to produce a translated library together with the original library. I think it can be done with some translation ware similar to what RMC offers.
I don't think IBM has plans to backport the translation code from RMC to EPF. Can we ask IBM to donate the code? If IBM is not willing to donate I think we (the EPF community) should produce it ourselves. IMHO EPF Wiki is not the right way to approach this because the objective should be to produce a translated library.
