This is paper is a survey of the current machine translation research in
the US, Europe, and Japan. A short history of machine translation is
presented first, followed by an overview of the current research work.
Representative examples of a wide range of different approaches adopted
by machine translation researchers are presented. These are described
in detail along with a discussion of the practicalities of scaling up
these approaches for operational environments. In support of this
discussion, issues in, and techniques for, evaluating machine translation
systems are discussed.
