translate does not return unicode object when translating empty string #8

translate does not return consistent types. Consider:

> from translate import Translator
> translator= Translator(to_lang="zh")
> print type(translator.translate("a"))
<type 'unicode'>
> print type(translator.translate(""))
<type 'str'>

This makes writing code that is future-proof for Python 3 harder than necessary.
