The only use case for such a program that I can think of is a compiler
that is just using another language as an intermediate step, and that
language is usually going to be compiled (for example, several compilers
for different languages emit C code) or some other virtual machine like
a Javascript engine.

I don't want to put this too harshly, but the job of translating from
one language to another, and making the code idiomatic and maintainable
is up to you the programmer.  If you are a programmer you should be able
to easily do this, even if you have not worked with the source language
before.
