We are seeking models for translating program source code from one language to another - “transpilers”, to be technical. They take in source code written in a legacy programming language like C or Cpp, and produce equivalent source code in a modern programming language like Java or Python.

The problem we’re having is searching huggingface for these types of _transpiler_ models - we can’t find any except for [Facebook/CodeGen](https://github.com/facebookresearch/CodeGen), but that can’t be the only one. Perhaps “transpiler” is the wrong search terms, we’re not sure but that’s the term with which we’re familiar.

Just looking for some guidance on how to search for transpiler models, or source-to-source translation models, if those are even the proper terms.
