Probably not what the people on the OM list want to hear, but ever since
Maple 7 and Mathematica 5 (whatever was released in 2001, see
http://www.w3.org/Math/iandi/ for example), through MathML one can
'translate' between the two systems.  This is automatic via
cut-and-paste of MathML.

I wish you were right but, as far as I know you can only paste MathML into Maple. Copying first involves invoking a function that generates the MathML, or using the "export as html" (where you can read the mathML-content as applet params, oh glory!).

(note, this was in Maple 10 on Mac, there may be differences and novelties in Maple 11 or 12)

The quality of the translation is depending on the quality of the MathML
services of each implementation.  But I remember people demoing some
non-trivial cut-and-paste between these two products in 2002.

Maple has a MathML[Export] function built-in (which exports Content and
Presentation in parallel, usually the best choice).  Mathematica's
ImportString[] function knows how to decode MathML (see
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/format/MathML.html for an
example).

with the usual incompatibilities... e.g. isn't there a few inverse trigonometric functions which are incompatible and one of the two exports a csymbol?
