> essentially rewriting your entire codebase before you can even start translating

I’d say it just takes a few prompts in Cursor or a similar tool.

Then, you simply ask it to translate into other languages. Here’s how I did it for one of my projects - a quantum optics simulator: https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/04/vibe-translating-quantum-fl...

Doing it at runtime might make sense for a typical translation. But for scientific (or engineering) content, we often want to verify the output. Translating in production can be wonderful, hilarious, or just inconsistent.
