Given that Arabic is one of the most widely used languages in the world, the task of Arabic Machine Translation (MT) has recently received a great deal of attention from the research community. Indeed, the amount of research that has been devoted to this task has led to some important achievements and improvements. However, the current state of Arabic MT systems has not reached the quality achieved for some other languages. Thus, much research work is still needed to improve it. This survey paper introduces the Arabic language, its characteristics, and the challenges involved in its translation. It provides the reader with a full summary of the important research studies that have been accomplished with regard to Arabic MT along with the most important tools and resources that are available for building and testing new Arabic MT systems. Furthermore, the survey paper discusses the current state of Arabic MT and provides some insights into possible future research directions.

鉴于阿拉伯语是世界上使用最广泛的语言之一，阿拉伯语机器翻译（MT）的任务最近受到了研究界的广泛关注。确实，致力于此任务的大量研究已取得了一些重要的成就和改进。但是，阿拉伯语MT系统的当前状态尚未达到某些其他语言所能达到的质量。因此，仍然需要大量的研究工作来改进它。这份调查报告介绍了阿拉伯语，其特点以及翻译过程中的挑战。它为读者提供了有关阿拉伯MT的重要研究的完整摘要，以及可用于构建和测试新的阿拉伯MT系统的最重要的工具和资源。
