I want to write Language Translator using C what are the simplest steps I can follow. If anyone have previously written translator using C please give that samples to study how can I write translator. This translator able to translate script written in one language to another language.

Well the simplest (ignoring any grammar rules) is a direct word for word translation, say
cat -> chat
dog -> chien
This can easily be done with arrays of words, and a simple search.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

my problem is how translate script which written in one programming language to another language. I think I'm not mention it clearly in my question I'll edit it and thanks for the reply.
Oh boy... This is a BIG job... how much programming experience do you have?
This isn't a task to be undertaken by someone who studied loops in class last week...
will you please write the question more specifically??
but i think you need to understand the grammar rules used in both the languages and then try to do conversion..
yep early I use Lex and Yacc to generate syntax trees and create parser. But in than scenario I want to do that using C. I plant to create tokenizer and mapping processor to generate new source code. I want to translate pure C code in to the CUDA but there are some similarities between C and CUDA due to that reason I'm planed not generate full syntax tree but when translate the method its necessary to have syntax tree but I'm unable to do that thats my problem. how to do that.
Ya I already mapped those grammer rules but programming part are still remaining thats the problem dude.
