A practical experience in the development of a database translator is reported for use with nuclear reaction databases. The database translator provides for the exchange of nuclear reaction data between a national centre and an international centre with nuclear reaction databases.

It is composed of three levels: block level, section level and code level. The translation technique adapted is one usual in programming language translation having very hospitable rules. Some difficulties similar to natural language translation are discussed, since these two databases have different schema of data compilation.

The significance of the database translator is that it enables the data, which is compiled for the specific interest of a given community, to circulate internationally. The success of devel oping the database translator has identified, in practice, a new method of international cooperation, especially in a research oriented field.
