Does Anything Exist That Can Automatically Translate Variable And Value Labels In A Stata Dataset?

I’ve been working with a cross-national dataset where all the variable labels and value labels are in a foreign language. Renaming them manually is tedious and error-prone, especially with 200+ variables.

I know I can write a do-file to relabel everything but that still requires me to know what the foreign labels mean and manually enter English equivalents one by one.

Is there any tool or workflow that handles this automatically? Ideally something that takes the .dta file, translates the metadata, and returns a clean English-labeled file without touching the underlying data
