I am currently doing a project requiring me to use the {googletrans} library. I tried to run some simple code to see if I had done everything correctly by trying to translate bonjour into English. from googletrans import Translator translator = Translator() print(translator.translate("bonjour")) The code is able to execute without any errors, however it doesn't provide a translation and simply prints Translated(src=en, dest=en, text=bonjour, pronunciation=None, extra_data="{'confiden...") When I specify the source language for the code, it translates with no issues. It is able to auto-detect the language when using longer phrases such as sentences or more explicit cases such as Chinese characters. I have tried using another library called {deep-translate} to see if it was just an issue with the {googletrans} library but I encountered the same issues as above. I installed a library called {langdetect} to see if the input language could actually be detected in order to determine if the problem was simply on my end. When I printed the results of the detection code using multiple languages it did provide a language output but they were all incorrect. After this testing and the testing mentioned in the problem details I established that the library is fully able to detect a language and translate it but not for individual words. For the purpose of my project, I need to be able to use the auto-detection functionality for individual words. I know it is possible as the instructor of the course I am following ran the exact same code without any issues. Continue reading...
