Submissions should not include instances of static, ready-made programs dedicated to translating a program from (intermediate) object language A to target language B. These should be assigned to subcategories dealing with the specific target languages involved. Rather submissions should pertain to examples of frameworks for constructing these translation programs.

Code generators are the backends of compilers and translate a program (specification) from some intermediate object code to a program in a target language, which may be immediately executable but generally requires further compilation, interpretation or assembly. The kits referred to are tools or environments for constructing this class of translation meta-programs.
