Detect function for language detection - save translation time

[me-suzy]

Helo. I have many html files with paragraphs written in 2 languages, romanian and chinese. I want to translate only one of the languages, and I want to skip to the other one. This line, even if is auto, translates also romanian, even if there are romanian paragraphs. I want to skip fast the romanian paragraphs and translate only chinese paragraphs.

The deep-translator library also translates the Romanian language, but practically it makes no sense to translate them again. The bookstore must detect and quickly skip to paragraphs that are already written in Romanian.

Basically, I want to save translation time.

translator = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='ro')

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator

translator = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='ro')

# Funcție pentru detectarea limbii unui text
def detect_language(text, translator):
    try:
        detected_language = translator.detect(text)
        return detected_language
    except RequestError:
        return None

def translate_html_tags(file_path, translator, subfolder_path, ignored_files, translated_files):
    global translated_tags_count
    translated_tags_count = 0  # Reset the global counter for each file

    file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)

    if not file_name.endswith('.html'):
        ignored_files.append(file_name)
        print(f"Ignored file: {file_name}")
        return None

    print(f"Translating file: {file_name}")  # Print the file being translated

    local_tag_count = 0  # Local counter for tags within this file

    translated_file_path = os.path.join(subfolder_path, file_name.rsplit('.', 1)[0] + '_ro.html')

    with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
        content = file.read()

    content = apply_regex_before_translation(content)

    for tag_regex in tags_to_translate:
        matches = re.finditer(tag_regex, content, re.DOTALL)
        for match in matches:
            local_tag_count += 1  # Increment local tag counter
            tag_start = match.group(1)
            tag_content = match.group(2)
            tag_end = match.group(3)

            # Verifică limba tag-ului
            if detect_language(tag_content, translator) != 'romanian':
                print(f"Translating tag {local_tag_count}: {tag_start}...{tag_end}")
                translated_content = translate_in_parts(tag_content, translator)
                translated_tag = f"{tag_start}{translated_content}{tag_end}"
                content = content.replace(f"{tag_start}{tag_content}{tag_end}", translated_tag)
                translated_tags_count += 1
            else:
                print(f"Skipping Romanian tag {local_tag_count}: {tag_start}...{tag_end}")

    # Salvează conținutul tradus
    with open(translated_file_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as translated_file:
        translated_file.write(content)

    translated_files.append(translated_file_path)

The Error:
