Is there a Descriptive-algebraic coverter

On the internet I can find a spanish-English translator pretty quickly. I searched for something similar with chess notation and I found one, but when I tyoped in the letters and pressed convert nothing happened? Is there one of these on the internet? 

I'm a programmer, so if you don't find one... Sorry, bad day.

I doubt you'll find one.  The popularity of algebraic is that it's unambiguous. 

All but the most carefully done descriptive notation often has an open to interpretation move slip in (such a conversion program would need a coin flip option to cover that likelihood).

sftac, a better option would be to see which interpretation is consistent with the following moves. With luck, there will only be one.

So then in other words the better option is to simply learn descriptive

It takes about half an hour to learn. You'll be an old hand after looking through a couple of games.

Alternatively, look for algerbraic reprints.

Yes, that's the easiest and cheapest option. Actually I believe players should learn both since I use both in the same text, depending on whether I am referring to both players' moves in general or not, and I noticed Pandolfini does the same thing in at least one of his books. For example...

AILMENT:
Blocking the c-pawn in certain openings.

In order to get play against the opponent's center in
d-pawn games and flank openings, it's often nec-
cessary to advance the c-pawn, releasing your queen
and attacking the opponent's Q4 square. Without
this thrust, it's practically impossible to softenup
the opponent's central formation. The problems set
in when you develop the queen-knight to QB3 be-
force moving the c-pawn, preventing the pawn from
moving at all.

Rx
1. In most queen-pawn games and flank openings,
avoid prematurely blocking the c-pawn.
2. Determine if it could be a weapon against the
enemy center.
3. Consider advancing it without direct protection.
4. Don't be afraid to rely on indirect defenses.
5. In your home analyses, acquaint yourself with the
typical ways to win back captured c-pawns.
6. For example, remember the moves Q-QR4, N-
QR3, N-K5, and P-QR4 to undermine the enemy's
protective b-pawn.
7. If your c-pawn is taken, aim to gain control of the
center, especially your K4.
8. Play practice games where you offer the c-pawn
soundly. then try to get it back.

Here's a web page which will do that:

Somewhat buggy in my one test.

I grew up with descriptive and know it well. It's been a pain to learn algebraic and I still screw up using descriptive for Black ranks, e.g. ##...Qd2 instead of ##...Qd7.

I'm not sure it's such a good idea to have both descriptive and algebraic in your head. Why bother, since algebraic has almost entirely replaced descriptive.

That's the one I found. Doesn't work for the most part

I use Chessmaster. Any games in memory can be converted to Co Ordinate, Algebraic, Long Algebraic, Figurine Algebraic, Descriptive or International.

Best all round Chess software on the market in my opinion.

Is there anything that you're not totally awesome at?

If you've got Windows 32, the shareware app, chessbd, works.

* Download and install chessbd.exe from http://www.dfong.com/chessbd/
* Add "outnotation=2" to chessbd.ini
* Launch chessbd.exe.
* Open a pgn file containing descriptive notation.
* Save file under different name.
-- Saved file will be in algebraic.

Windows 32?  Wow!  I'm only on Windows XP and only just now am contemplating a new PC with Windows 8.1

Go to site map on the botom of this page=you will find a solution

By Windows 32, of course, I mean any of the 32-bit Windows from Win95 on up, not including any 64-bit variety such Win 7 64-bit.

Are you, hereby, implying Win32 applications won't work on any 64-bit variety such as Win 7 64-bit!?

Tell you what... YOU'RE WRONG.

Why? CPUs, in x86-64 mode can, and do, still, execute, native x86, code.

Your OS just has to support it, which, Windows, does.

... it's called WOW64...: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
