%The reason for this is that KEGG releases those XML-files primarily for graphical visualizations of the pathway. For creating fully functional models of the pathway, the content of the XML-file is not sufficient.
By improving the annotation and translating the KGML-files to other file formats, researchers could use the KEGG database for many applications: Individual pathway pictures could be created; pathway simulation and modeling applications could be executed; graph-operations on the pathways or stoichiometric analyses (e.g., linear relationships) could be performed; or the KEGG pathway database could be used for gene set enrichment analyses.
%
For these purposes, only a few converters are available: KEGGconverter \citep{KEGGconverter} or KEGG2SBML \citep{KEGG2SBML} offer command-line or web-based conversion of KGML-files to SBML-files. KEGGgraph \citep{KEGGgraph} is able to convert KGML-files to R-based graph structures. None of these tools has a graphical user interface, is capable to validate and autocomplete KEGG reactions, adds standard identifiers (such as MIRIAM URNs) to pathway elements, or is able to write KGML files in multiple ouput formats.

We here present KEGGtranslator, which reads and completes the content of an XML-file by retrieving online-annotation of all genes and reactions using the KEGG API \citep{KEGGapi}. KGML-files can be converted to many output formats. Minor deficiencies are corrected (e.g., the name of a gene), new information is added (e.g., multiple MIRIAM identifiers for each gene and reaction \citep{Novere2005}, or SBO terms describing the function) and some crucial deficiencies (like missing reactants) are addressed.
