You probably know the book "Numerical Recipes"


    http://www.nr.com/


In the first edition, there were FORTRAN sources in the main text
and Pascal sources in the appendix. It was ugly Pascal, just as one
can expect from an automatic translation. On page 673 of the first
edition, they say:


    In fact, much of the translation from FORTRAN to Pascal was done
    automatically by a computer program written in the language SNOBOL4,
    a powerful (if old-fashioned) pattern-matching and string processing
    language.


The whole process probably was a semi-automatic process.
