ReversoTranslator BUG

[reddere]

ReversoTranslator is bugged as when words like única are getting passed in the source text field, it throws error: requests.exceptions.ChunkedEncodingError: ("Connection broken: InvalidChunkLength(got length b'', 0 bytes read)", InvalidChunkLength(got length b'', 0 bytes read))

Here is a piece of code to replicate:

from translatepy.translators.reverso import ReversoTranslate

translator = ReversoTranslate()

text = 'Una manera única de conseguir la victoria\n\nJonesyTheGoat'
t = translator.translate(text, 'Italian')
print(t)

Note how if you remove única, it works great. Somehow it throw error even if you replace the ú with a normal u. No idea why, @Animenosekai thanks in advance <3

requests doesn't supports HTTP/2, probably that's why it's throws exception ChunkedEncodingError. Or there is some problem in server side. Anyway, if we send exactly same request with curl, we get useful information about error itself:

{"error":"direction_invalid","errorType":"validation"}⏎

@reddere, as a workaround, please specify the source language of the text, as Reverso recognises text in Catalan. However, the translate endpoint doesn't support Catalan translation:

from translatepy.translators.reverso import ReversoTranslate

translator = ReversoTranslate()

text = 'Una manera única de conseguir la victoria\n\nJonesyTheGoat'
t = translator.translate(text, 'Italian', 'Spanish')
print(t)

I made some investigation and came to conclusion that when we send request from Chromium, even from Icnognito mode, Reverso correctly detects language as Spanish, if we export same request as curl format from Network tab of Devtool and execute it in terminal, we get Catalon language as in requests result. Probably Reverso uses some fingerprinting algorithm to detect the source of incoming requests, I have no better explanations.

I deeply appreciate the insightful replies @ZhymabekRoman . Unfortunately I cannot set the source language as I'm using the translator to translate from multiple languages (english, spanish and german mainly) to italian. If reverso detects the source of incoming requests, will passing a Chromium User-Agent in headers work?

will passing a Chromium User-Agent in headers work?

Nope

As a workaround, I think you can use Google to detect the language and pass it to Reverso for translation.

Hmm requests.exceptions.ChunkedEncodingError is not really common, might need to investigate a bit
