Translation not working - NotTranslated: Translation API returned the input string unchanged.

Hi,
The translation is not working.
thanks in advance,

In [1]: from textblob import TextBlob

In [2]: en_blob = TextBlob(u'Simple is better than complex.')

In [3]: en_blob.translate(to='es')

The problem is that this API has changed it's output format. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35420602/python-textblob-not-translating/35421116#35421116.

Use this:
Step (1) pip install goslate

Step (2)
import goslate

text = "Hello World"

gs = goslate.Goslate()
translatedText = gs.translate(text,'hi')

print(translatedText)

@sanjaydeo96

can you please tell me how to apply this into a pandas dataframe ?
I have a column df['Text'] which contain text from differen languages and I want to translate it into an new column called df['Text transalted']

You can do something like this:

from textblob import TextBlob

for index, row in df.iterrows():
    zh_blob = df.iloc[index]['Text']
    translation = TextBlob(zh_blob)
    en_blob = translation.translate(from_lang='zh', to='en')
    df.at[index, str('Text translated')] = str(en_blob )
df.head()

Thanks you are the best, I'll try the code as soon I set on my computer. thanks a million

[mostafagafer]

it gave me error :

NotTranslated: Translation API returned the input string unchanged.

any comment on how to fix it ?!
and in your code :
en_blob = translation.translate(from_lang='zh', to='en')
how to make it translate from any language to en not only from zh ?
again, thanks for your answer

Basically, you only need to remove from_lang='zh', and TextBlob will attempt to detect the language
en_blob = translation.translate(to='en')

You can see more information here: https://textblob.readthedocs.io/en/dev/quickstart.html#translation-and-language-detection

Use this:

text = "Hello World"

gs = goslate.Goslate()
translatedText = gs.translate(text,'hi')

print(translatedText)

hi sir I'm getting this following error
HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable

try:
blob.translate(from_lang = 'en', to = 'es')
except:
print ("Same translation so skipping")

how Translate English texts database into Arabic textblob pytho?

[shubheshswain91]

I am facing a problem with the translation

from textblob import TextBlob
from textblob.translate import NotTranslated

text = TextBlob("Explanation\nWhy the edits made under my username Hardcore Metallica Fan were reverted? They weren't vandalisms, just closure on some GAs after I voted at New York Dolls FAC. And please don't remove the template from the talk page since I'm retired now.89.205.38.27")
text = text.translate(from_lang='en', to='de')
print(text)

Result:
TextBlob("Explanation Why the edits made under my username Hardcore Metallica Fan were reverted? Erklärung Warum wurden die unter meinem Benutzernamen Hardcore Metallica Fan vorgenommenen Änderungen rückgängig gemacht? They weren't vandalisms, just closure on some GAs after I voted at New York Dolls FAC. Es waren keine Vandalismen, sondern nur die Schließung einiger GAs, nachdem ich bei New York Dolls FAC abgestimmt hatte. And please don't remove the template from the talk page since I'm retired now.89.205.38.27 Und bitte entfernen Sie die Vorlage nicht von der Diskussionsseite, da ich jetzt im Ruhestand bin.89.205.38.27")

It is giving me the original as well as the translated version. Also, it's giving me result in the some HTML format like ",&# " etc.
