BabelCoder: Agentic Code Translation with Specification Alignment
Quick summary
arXiv:2512.06902v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As software systems evolve, developers increasingly work across multiple programming languages and often face the need to migrate code from one language to another. While automatic code translation offers a promising solution, it has long remained a challenging task. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown potential for this task, yet existing approaches remain limited in accuracy and fail to effectively leverage contextual and structural cues within the code. Prior work has explored translation and repair mechani
