Googletrans version:

• 4.0.0rc1

I'm submitting a ...

• bug report
• feature request

Current behavior:

>>> from googletrans import Translator

  File "c:\Users\Max\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\googletrans\client.py", line 222, in translate
    translated_parts = list(map(lambda part: TranslatedPart(part[0], part[1] if len(part) >= 2 else []), parsed[1][0][0][5]))
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Expected behavior:

I expect the "Author" word in deuch

Steps to reproduce:

• Install googletrans 4.0.0-rc1
• Call python and make steps from "Current behavior"

This probably is because of the gender-specific translate results. I will investigate and fix it soon.

I'm getting a similar issue, it seems whenever Google gives two results it fails.

@noaho Thanks for giving me the raw response. I'll fix it within a few days.

[noaho]

Thank you for the great project 😊

[JosMan94]

Hello! I have the same problem too.
@ssut thank you very much for continuing with the project :D
Regards.

[ahmedbr]

Hi! any solution for this problem?

[ssut]

@ahmedbr I'm still working on it. Give me a little time please.

[ahmedbr]

@ahmedbr I'm still working on it. Give me a little time please.

Thank you so much for your efforts bro, I've just faced the problem and wanted to ask whether it's been solved. Thanks again. 😄

[vbastianpc]

I think I have the solution. Replace this line 222 of googletrans/client.py with this

try:
    translated_parts = list(map(lambda part: TranslatedPart(part[0], part[1] if len(part) >= 2 else []), parsed[1][0][0][5]))
except TypeError: # because of the gender-specific translate results
    translated_parts = [ TranslatedPart(parsed[1][0][1][0], [parsed[1][0][0][0], parsed[1][0][1][0]]) ]

Gender-specific translations now work.

>>> translator.translate("Author", src="en", dest="de").text
Autor

(This is my first comment on github, I don't know how to put this code snippet in your pull request)

Thanks for your reply, but this doesn't work for me

[Saravananslb]

Use this for google translation and it is working fine
https://pypi.org/project/pygoogletranslation

Thank me later

[mr2rm]

Hi, Still any solution to this issue?
Can I work on this?

[terryyz]

@mr2rm You are more than welcome to work on this :)

[kidburglar]

@ssut @mr2rm Is there a reason it's not fixed yet? I ask because I tested the change of vbastianpc and it fixed the issue in my case.

@ahmedbr do you still have a way to reproduce your issue?

[mr2rm]

@kidburglar
That's because I couldn't reproduce it. It seems gender-specific translation won't return in response anymore.

[ssikyou]

Same error here, it seems the issue still exsits.

[kidburglar]

@mr2rm

I will try to find few case where I can reproduct the issue. I noted that it was because the gender like you said but also if you got an URL the answer from google is not the same.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[Luke8023]

incorrect from en to fr gives this error

[MaxBrain]

Actual code to reproduce

python3
Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul  8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from googletrans import Translator
>>> translator = Translator()
>>> print(translator.translate("GREAT", src="en", dest="es").text)

The code from the first post still crashes

print(translator.translate("Author", src="en", dest="de").text)

[dandiep]

Still an issue. Any gendered word causes this. Another example:

translator.translate("white", src="en", dest="es")

[lesleypotters]

I still have this problem when running the code like this:
df['text_en'] = df['text'].apply(lambda x: translator.translate(x, src=es, dest='en').text )

However, when I take out the src=es part, it does run - but it gets a timeout after 1,5h.

[gonzalo-cordova-pou]

translator.translate("modern" , src="en", dest ='es') returns an Error:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
It looks like it has to do with the gender-specific translate. As "modern" in spanish is "moderna" and "moderno" depending on the gender

No one ever updated this thread, so I discovered this from stackoverflow, but this issue has already been solved.
If you do "pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0" it will give you the first result of a gender-specific translate, no longer giving you this error.

The version googletrans==3.1.0a0 has this problem too .

[rodfranck]

Still an issue. Other examples:

translator.translate('ALPINE', src='en', dest='es')
translator.translate('Armenian', src='en', dest='es')

[edisonnery]

I don`t know if someone explains here what is the source of this problem.

I mapped that it happens when the translation returns two or more options.

An example is the word "Automatic". When this word is translated for Portuguese without context can return two options, "Automático" or "Automática".

I think that you can create a parameter to define which genre the code needs to return male or female.

[sachin-suresh-rapyuta]

Was there any solution to this error, other than the try block suggested here?

[ventz]

@MFRS Thank you - worked perfectly!
