I am currently spending some time creating a (partial) Liferay translation for the Greek language, and I came upon this original English message text:
Your request processed successfully.
Can the verb "process" be used intransitively in this manner? Or would this be the correct form?
Your request was processed successfully.

Process is an intransitive verb, but it means "walk in procession". Clergy and ministers process into a church service. It's pronounced differently, with the stress on the second syllable.
ODO doesn't allow process not to have an object, in the sense which is meant in your quote:
However, it is also fairly common for computer output messages to omit the verb, headline-style; or to use jargon.
In the quoted message, it is clear what is meant: the request went through the process. But this use is jargon.
