I wonder if it is possible to synthesize on one
chip  VHDL and Verilog IP
cores. I suppose the VHDL to Verilog or vice versa translator could be
used. 
Ideas are welcome.

Can't you do that with Synplify?  If not, you can
always synthesize blocks
of, say, VHDL, separately and then instantiate them as EDIF black boxes in
the Verilog design.

You can usually do mixed language if you are
prepared to pay lots of money
for licenses. But if your doing Xilinx, or maybe something else, then have a
look at the second method outlined here
http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/techitips.html . You can synthesis with XST in
both Verilog and VHDL. I can't confirm if you can do both at once in one
project I would need to check that. If I was doing on a design that is big
enough to warrant 2 languages I would usually break it down into some kind
of increment / modular flow anyway.

You can also use ISE toolset to write out a module in another language. It
is there mainly for simulation but you can use it otherwise.

Current versions of Xilinx XST, Altera  Quartus, and Synplify Pro all support
mixed verilog/VHDL designs.

You can use both at once in the current version of XST.
