Work with an application written in a foreign (oral) language

Question

I have a VB5 application written in a foreign language (Italian). It uses an access database, which is also in Italian.

How can I convert this to English?

I'm probably going to port this to .NET, but before I do this, I need to somehow read and understand what I'm doing.

Answer 1

I would not waste time or money trying to actually transfer the source. Just use online automatic translators like google translate to find pieces of Italian that you don’t understand. Comments and identifiers in the source code are not complex literary works. It does not have to take long to disguise the "programming of Italian" subsets of the Italian language.
