I am afraid that this description is utterly unclear.  I have no idea
what "'translated'" is supposed to mean.  Who is supposed to do the
translation?  Under what circumstances?  What is supposed to be the
result of the translation, and where is it supposed to end up?

Without a much more thorough description that does not rely on an
intimate knowledge of NooJ and the knowledge what it is actually being
used for in the context cited here, I don't see that a useful answer can
be given.

All the best
