OK. Here's the skinny on translation:

You can spend a lot of time and money, or you can let us do it for you.

The shortest way to answer you questions would be to schedule a phone or Skype call.

In the meantime, here are some things to think about.

Source Code Translation Comparison Chart

Method	Pros	Cons	Cost per line	Total cost for a 100,000 line program
Ignore it	No cost in the short-term	Extremely high cost when your software no longer runs	N/A	If your program stopped today, how much would it cost you in lost business?
Do it Yourself	Your programmers get experience doing translation	Manual translation is error-prone and takes up valuable programmer time	$12	$1,200,000
Use an automated tool	Some of the translation will go faster	Your programmers will have to learn how to use the automated tool, which will take significant time	$4	$400,000
Let us do it for you	We have experience doing translation, so it will go faster and better	(none that we can think of)	$1	$100,000

What to expect

Process	Main Goal	Cost
Step 1: Initial Assessment	Determine total project cost and feasibility	$995 (flat fee)
Step 2: Setup	Enable us to work on your software, including: grant access to your source code set up a "test" server for use with this translation project obtain licenses to third-party libraries used by your program set up a VPN connection to your site (if necessary)	TBD during the Initial Assessment
Step 3: Source Code Translation	Produce VB.Net code that compiles without errors	$1/line
Step 4: Testing	Verify that users are able to use the translated program	TBD during the Initial Assessment
