Abstract

This article presents translations of works by Troyanskii describing his 1933 proposals for a mechanical translation device, some later elaborations of the linguistic and technical features, and also translated extracts from commentaries made in 1959 by the Russian editors of his papers. The paper includes extensive assessments of Troyanskii's proposals, and places his work in the context of his time and in the light of subsequent research in machine translation.
