I have asked for this myself on several occasions and I see the
request arise every month or so.

It would be nice to hear from someone smarter than I (and the other
requestors) whether the lack of a response indicates that such
a translation is not possible.
If there is someone out there knowledgable enough to say yes or no to
the possibility of such a conversion, would you please post your
opinion. I think it would be appreciated by many.

Thanks,
Fred
