You didn't mention which variation of Basic you wanted to translate,
or your target platform. There are some translators being sold (search
the web for them using "+BASIC +TRANSLATOR")


I have started a Vax/Basic to C++ translator using Flex, Bison, and
C++. It is a long way from being fully functional, but it may give
you something to look at. Compiles on Linux, VMS (GNU-C++), and I have
compiled it on a PC (Borland C++) in the past.


You can find the last version I downloaded in the Free-VMS site


http://www.lp.se/free-vms/


It is called btran, and you may also need the str package also.


I have been working on how it handles strings lately, so look at the
existing version, and if it looks usefull, let me know and I'll get
the current version a little more stable and download it for you.
