It is widely agreed that anaphora and ellipsis resolution is an important problem that is still to be solved in Natural Language Processing systems, such as Machine Translation and Information Extraction applications. Zero-pronouns are a special kind of anaphora, whose resolution also lies in ellipsis phenomenon since they do not appear explicitly in the text. They must first be detected (ellipsis), and then resolved just like any other pronoun (anaphora). This kind of pronoun occurs in Spanish texts when they occupy the grammatical position of the subject. In this paper, we propose an approach that resolves zero-pronouns in Spanish texts and subsequently generates them into English. A success rate of 75% has been obtained in the generation of Spanish zero-pronouns into English.
