and I believe there's a TS->Ninja translator available somewhere.
The problem with the concept of a TS to Ninjascript translator is
that Easylangauge is a pure "procedural" language and Ninjascript is
a pure "object oriented" language. Any code that is worth
translating is most likely going to be too complex for some
automated mechanism to cross this giant software divide.
It's complex but not impossible. Please see this translation of the
"ekam scalper" EL strategy (bottom) to NinjaScript (top).

The real issue is that EL automatically keeps track of previous values
of variables, etc. and NinjaScript doesn't. As you can see from the
translation above, quite a bit of C# code goes towards implementing
this EL feature in NinjaTrader.
Also, the differences in how graphics are handled between the two
packages is monumental.
This is why I decided not to handle graphics at all. The job is
difficult as it is and implementing EL graphics in NinjaTrader (and
other products) makes it monumental!
