Hi Team,
I have a question. I am trying to translate a column which has blanks in between. I am using EasyMT and its giving an error. won't it work if there is a blanks or missing in between the rows of a column?

Thanks

Hi @sriprad
You must make sure that all elements in your column are strings. The error shows that some cells are of type float, which does not work.
So replace these cells with an empty string ''

Hi @nreimers ,
Thank you. But when i dtype it shows object.

Please let me know your thoughts

thanks

It is better you convert your pandas dataframe to a list of sentences (strings) and pass this to the translate method

[sriprad]

df_samples['translated_text'] = model.translate(df_samples['Сообщение об ОС поступления'], source_lang='ru', target_lang='en')
this is what i am currently doing . Anything missing?

thanks
