Translation EN->PL good, PL->EN bad

#1

I test several sentences translation from English to Polish and was quite good. But translation from Polish to English are quite bad:

to jest bleu -> this is bleu
co to jest bleu -> this is the bleu
co to jest bleu? -> what is what?
test -> test test test test test ... (up to limit)

only fist sentence is normal.
Ask “co” add “the”,
question mark not helps.
sentence “test” caused “infinite” loop

Is pl->en noticeably worse than en->pl in a lot of different examples? They’re trained on the exact same data in reverse so that would be a little surprising.

If it is worse it might have overfit or something and be worth retraining.
