Mercator TP Desktop is a straight EDI translator - doesn't do much else,
but it does it pretty well. It's been around for a while.
Mercator also has an any to any mapper also that is much more powerful - it
can translate any format to any other format on the fly. It does have
utitilies for EDI translation, but is a bit klunky for that. And the
learning curve is a lot higher than straight EDI translators. If you have
other data translation needs other than EDI, then it is worth the higher
price. But to get Mercator just for EDI translation may be a bit of
overkill.

I don't know about the Mercator translator but the Iplanet ECXpert 3.5
is a great translator that utilizes the Mercator Authoring tool.
