JSONDecodeError with py_translator (google-translate) : how to make the library to work for new translations?












0














I am trying to use Google Translate Api to translate the text contained in a vast kaggle csv that I have converted in dataframe.



I have tried using googletrans which gives this error :



AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'


but this seems to be a recurrent error like it was reported here.



I switched to py_translator that also uses Google Translate. It worked fine at first and I could try as stated in the tutorial a simple command like that :



from py_translator import Translator
s = Translator().translate(text='Hello my friend', dest='es').text
print(s)


However after trying to apply it on my dataframe that contains 156 060 rows, because I must have forgotten the API limit of 5K or 15K, it completely stopped working, and I cannot run anymore the code above as it would always raise the same error :



JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)


the code that I used just before I ran into this error was :



df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(0,len(train)),columns=['translation'])
translator = Translator()
for i, row in enumerate(train['text']):
df.loc[i,'translation'] = translator.translate(row,dest='Fr').text


It ran into an error, but the first rows of the dataframe where correctly translated.
However, since then, I cannot get any result using any functionalities of py_translator, and it may be due to limits as suggested here or here.



1) How is it possible to reuse py_translator translation on simple requests and not run into the same error over and over on code that used to work before?



2) Is there a better library or a better way to translate a big dataset?



Many thanks
