Bilingual LLMs are already excellent at translating human languages. I imagine we'll find that GPT can translate between existing programming languages very well.

We could soon see a future where "Damn this useful paper/code is in x language. Have to wait for someone to port the code over to y language" is a thing of the past.

They are excellent. Not quite human level, but very very close. I was curious about Chinese-English translation capabilities of the latest crop of models and on more difficult texts a bilingual model like GLM-130B makes several errors per page while GPT-4 is down to probably just around one.

Interested to see how that plays out for programming languages.
