Hi Smeet,

There is no comparison.
I have both Translator and CDXtract Mac and CDXtract RULES!
Apart from the fact that all the features work, you have incredible 
stuff like the Magic Sample player to preview many samples, a 
functional database system and that's not all....

With CDXtract you can Merge & Stack programs from your sample disks 
to create multi-layered new programs and then just hit Save and CDX 
does it all for you!

I have lots of Roland CD's and the Roland de-emphasis is taken into 
consideration. When you convert, you have lots of options of how to 
save - file format, default folder for program and sample files for 
EXS24  (phew, I got this post back on topic), kind of what you'd 
expect from a sample conversion program. The conversions sound great 
in Logic/EXS24.

I think the best thing is to head over to the CDXtract website and 
take a closer look:
http://www.cdxtract.com

There's a demo there I believe.
I doubt I'll be using Translator very much.......

Regards - Colin
