"Early MT in France," by Maurice Gross, presents only a very brief sketch of the Paris project, which focused on Russian-French translation and terminated early in 1963 after Sestier became convinced that the task was too difficult to pursue further.
christian Boitet's article, "Bernard Vauquois' contribution to the Theory and Practice of Building MT Systems: A Historical Perspective," provides a relatively detailed picture of both the Grenoble project and the accomplishments of its leader in his various roles as researcher, teacher, MT system builder, and international figure in computational linguistics.
