i18n error

[mark-wd]

Win11, local instance, latest version as of 28 Oct 2024.

I was getting the error below. Did a full reinstall and was still getting it. Console:

Use "faster-whisper" implementation Device "cuda" is detected Traceback (most recent call last): File "H:\Whisper-WebUI\app.py", line 483, in <module> app.launch() File "H:\Whisper-WebUI\app.py", line 232, in launch with self.i18n: File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\contextlib.py", line 142, in __exit__ next(self.gen) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\gradio_i18n\i18n.py", line 330, in Translate translation_dict = yaml.safe_load(f) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\__init__.py", line 125, in safe_load return load(stream, SafeLoader) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\__init__.py", line 79, in load loader = Loader(stream) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\loader.py", line 34, in __init__ Reader.__init__(self, stream) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\reader.py", line 85, in __init__ self.determine_encoding() File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\reader.py", line 124, in determine_encoding self.update_raw() File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\yaml\reader.py", line 178, in update_raw data = self.stream.read(size) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 2456: character maps to <undefined> "launching the app" Press any key to continue .

Following the traceback, I went to my "AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\gradio_i18n" and found "i18n.py". I changed line 326 from "with open(translation, "r") as f:" to "with open(translation, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:" and now the UI runs just fine.

You should account for this situation so that less technical users with certain locale settings don't run into this issue.

Hi. I thought I already fixed this in jhj0517/gradio-i18n and this shouldn't happen anymore.

"with open(translation, "r")

This line should be with open(translation, "r", encoding=find_encoding(translation)) if my patched version is installed properly.

Just for information, did you install the package manually via

pip install gradio-i18

Or did you install the packages with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or just run install.bat?

[mark-wd]

I just ran "install.bat".

[mark-wd]

Well, first I updated after not having updated in a month via the updater bat. Then it broke. Then full uninstall and reinstall via the installer bat.

[jhj0517]

Well anyway, if you ran install.bat it should not have happened.
I hope hoveychen/gradio-i18n#2 is merged and fixed in the official package.
