Description

ChatGPT gave me a fix for a bug in the library, you can find the fix below.
kindly add it to the package :)

The Error:

StopIteration Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/translate/translate.py in (.0)
44 text_list = wrap(text, TRANSLATION_API_MAX_LENGHT, replace_whitespace=False)
---> 45 return ' '.join(self.provider.get_translation(text_wraped) for text_wraped in text_list)

2 frames

StopIteration:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/translate/translate.py in translate(self, text)
43
44 text_list = wrap(text, TRANSLATION_API_MAX_LENGHT, replace_whitespace=False)
---> 45 return ' '.join(self.provider.get_translation(text_wraped) for text_wraped in text_list)

RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration

ChatGPT Solution:

The StopIteration error occurs when you're trying to retrieve an element from an iterator and there are no more elements left to retrieve. In this case, it appears to be happening in the line next(match for match in matches) in mymemory_translated.py and is likely caused by the fact that there are no matches found for the text that's being translated.

To resolve this issue, you can add a try-except block to catch the StopIteration error and return a default value if there are no matches:

try:
next_best_match = next(match for match in matches)
return next_best_match['translation']
except StopIteration:
return "Translation not found"

Research direction

Start by reading translate.py around the reported generator expression and mymemory_translated.py around the next(match for match in matches) call. Reproduce the StopIteration failure if possible, then verify that a response with no matching translation no longer raises RuntimeError and that the existing translation path still works.
