When you say it's failed completely what do you mean?

I've been translating between c# and python and having a great deal of success at the function and class level. I even ported unit tests easily between xunit and pythons unittest library. I've got close to 100% test coverage so I'm fairly confident it's done well

translating between popular mainstream languages is not usually an issue.

translating a 20yo project written in a language that isn't used much anymore is a lot different

We should upload VB6 projects to GitHub.

But they are confident everything is done well!

The code looks good, and that's a great success. What else would you like?

Failed as in it produced not working code that would take longer to fix than if I re-wrote it myself. Or, in the case of user interfaces, the generated UI code simply was useless and did not even resemble the original UI.
