Build a Cross-Language Code Translator
This challenge focuses on building an advanced AI agent system for high-fidelity code translation (e.g., Python to Go, Java to Kotlin). The system will leverage Gemini 2.5 Pro's strong code generation capabilities, specifically utilizing its 'Deep Think' mode for profound semantic understanding, and DSPy for programmatic prompting and optimization of the translation pipeline. The process will involve a multi-stage, graph-based workflow: first, understanding the source code's intent and structure; second, generating semantically equivalent target code; and third, robustly validating the translation. Validation will incorporate MCP-enabled static analysis tools, unit test generation, and potentially automated code review, ensuring the translated code is not only functionally correct but also idiomatic to the target language.
