Most of the current Machine Translation systems are designed to trans- late a document sentence by sentence ignoring discourse information and producing incoherencies in the nal translations.

The work focuses on studying two phenomena: words with inconsistent translations throughout a text and also, gender and number agreement among words. Since we deal with specic phenomena, an automatic evaluation does not reect signicant variations in the
