Use this for google translation and it is working fine https://pypi.org/project/pygoogletranslation

I think I have the solution. Replace this line 222 of googletrans/client.py with this

try:
    translated_parts = list(map(lambda part: TranslatedPart(part[0], part[1] if len(part) >= 2 else []), parsed[1][0][0][5]))
except TypeError: # because of the gender-specific translate results
    translated_parts = [ TranslatedPart(parsed[1][0][1][0], [parsed[1][0][0][0], parsed[1][0][1][0]]) ]

Gender-specific translations now work.

>>> translator.translate("Author", src="en", dest="de").text
Autor

No one ever updated this thread, so I discovered this from stackoverflow, but this issue has already been solved. If you do “pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0” it will give you the first result of a gender-specific translate, no longer giving you this error.

Thanks for your reply, but this doesn’t work for me

This probably is because of the gender-specific translate results. I will investigate and fix it soon.

ssut on Dec 12, 2020

Still an issue. Any gendered word causes this. Another example:

translator.translate(“white”, src=“en”, dest=“es”)

@noaho Thanks for giving me the raw response. I’ll fix it within a few days.

ssut on Dec 14, 2020

Hello! I have the same problem too. @ssut thank you very much for continuing with the project 😄 Regards.

@ahmedbr I’m still working on it. Give me a little time please.
