_Computational_Linguistics_ had a couple special issues on machine translation
not too long ago: Vol 11 No. 1 (January-March 1985) and Vol 11 Nos. 2-3 (April-Sept 1985)
with a review article by Jonathan Slocum in the first issue and reports of particular
projects filling out the rest of these issues.
A recent book on this topic is _Machine_Translation:_Theoretical_and_
methodological_issues, ed. Sergei Nirenburg, Cambridge U.P. 1987. The
volume starts with overview articles by Nirenburg and by Allan Tucker,
and contains articles addressing a variety of issues.

There are several sources of info on machine translation. Begin with "Machine Translation" in S. C. Shapiro (ed.), Encyclopedia of AI (Wiley, 1987). There are two recent books: Sergei Nirenburg (ed.), Machine Translation: Theoretical and Methodological Issues (Cambridge UP, 1987). and another book by, I think, a fellow named Hutchings, published by Ellis Horwood, in England; it's a good survey. There are two major journals: Computational Linguistics, published by MIT Press for the Association for Computational Linguistics, and Computers and Translation, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
