You certainly could write your own translator. I'm not aware of any open source translator, but if you come across a good one let me know.

One unique advantage of buying one is you should be getting updates to the EDI standards (ANSI X12, EDIFACT, etc.) This standards documentation is not available for free. Again you can get around this by depending on documentation from your trading partner or doing some analysis or trial and error.

If you're doing only minimal EDI, you might write something less generic (eg a specific program to parse an 850 order).
