TRAVEL translates C to Rust through rule-guided search, execution feedback, and a learned reasoning reward. It generates test inputs, explores translation paths, and uses reinforcement learning to improve its policy. On xCodeEval, Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct with TRAVEL reaches 71.07% computational accuracy and 87.38% compilation success, outperforming IRENE on both; its compilation rate remains below SFT, and tests do not prove equivalence.
