Anaphora resolution

[00:17]  <jimregan> anaphora is one of those polarising things about MT
[00:18]  <jimregan> RBMT is like a 1920s man's man: a man's a man, even if he's a woman
[00:18]  <jimregan> SMT is like a Thai prostitute: sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman, sometimes it's both

Untranslatable

- Wczoraj, bandyta napadł mię (Yesterday, a bandit attacked me)
- Co się stało? (What happened?)
- Mówił pieniądze albo śmierć (He said "money or death")
- A co zrobiłeś? (What did you do?)
- Ale śmierdziałem! (Oh, but I stank)

(Voiced consonants in Polish become devoiced at the end of words, so "śmierdź" and "śmierć" sound the same.)
