for example i have this Xtext Model :

Model :
elements+=Expression* ;

Expression :
" req " name=ID " : " (p=pattern s=scope )

pattern :
( ( ( " always " | " never " | " eventua l l y ") ( exp=ID ) ) )
;
scope :
( ( ( " g l o b a l l y ") | ( " be f o r e " | " a f t e r ") exp2=ID ) | ( ( ' between ' exp3=ID ' and ' exp4=ID ) | ( ' a f t e r ' exp4=ID ' u n t i l ' exp5=ID ) )
)

I want to write this Grammar DSL in Xtext Editor and when save it a new file is generate have this translation :

always p(expression) globally ---> (convert to) AG(P)
never p globally ---> AG( !P)
eventually p globally ----> AF(P)
always p after q ----> AG(Q -> AG(P))

I want to convert like this in a file when i save my Grammar in Xtext Edior.
