"'Nonetype' object is not subscriptable" error on bulk translate

[kyle-sama]

Tried to use bulk translate on a pdf file:

from pygoogletranslation import Translator

translator = Translator()

translation = translator.translate('日本語')
print(translation)
>>Translated(src=ja, dest=en, text=Japanese, pronunciation=, original_text=日本語 ,extra_data="{}...")
bulk = translator.bulktranslate('annotation_ID07.pdf', src='ja', dest='en')

got this error:

Hi kyle-sama,

Please share the pdf to [email protected]

I will help you on this issue bcz I have tested with some pdf files that is working file.

So I need a PFD file that you are trying to translate.

Thanks,
Saravananslb

I'm sorry, it's sensitive data that I cannot share, but I'll see if I can try on something else

[kyle-sama]

yeah other files don't throw the errors, but give various results...

[Saravananslb]

Try this version pip install pygoogletranslation==2.0.4.

I hope this will fix ur error.

Please let me know ur feedback.

Random thought about the pdf file that wasn't working... what kind of pdf is it? What I mean by that is that if it's really a scanned pdf, then you're unlikely to have much luck with it without some fairly sophisticated ocr.
