Translating the EasyLanguage code is a minor part of the problem. You would also have to translate all of the function libraries or make sure that WealthLab had comparable functions that worked exactly the same way.
Since the TradeStation library is covered by copyrights, I suspect TradeStation would object to anyone simply translating them...
And there are many subtle things that TradeStation does with simple and series functions. For example, series functions are executed out of context on every bar, even if they are included in conditional statements in the code.
And simple things like "MyVariable[Length]" imply a circular buffer or past values is available. The WealthLab code no doubt has some different way to accomplish the same thing.
So a really useful translation is very hard to do.
And how many people would put their trading system code on any web site, password protected or not...
