Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Country

✓ from babelfish import Country

Language

✓ from babelfish import Language

Basic usage: create Country and Language objects from codes and access properties.

from babelfish import Country, Language # Look up by code c = Country('US') print(c.name) # United States l = Language('eng') print(l.name) # English # From alpha3 code (three-letter) print(Country.fromalpha3('USA')) # Country('US')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaCountry and Language objects use enums internally but are not directly mutable after creation. Trying to set attributes may raise AttributeError.

fix

Create a new object if you need a different code.

affects: all

deprecatedpkg_resources usage was removed in 0.6.0. If you rely on package resources via babelfish, you may need to adjust.

fix

Use importlib.resources as replacement if needed.

affects: >=0.6.0

gotchaCountry codes are case-sensitive internally. 'us' is not the same as 'US' for direct instantiation; use upper-case strings.

fix

Always use uppercase codes (e.g., 'US', 'GB').

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'Country' from 'babelfish'

Partial or old installation, or wrong import path.

fix

Reinstall with: pip install --upgrade babelfish. The correct import is: from babelfish import Country

AttributeError: module 'babelfish' has no attribute 'Country'

File named babelfish.py in current directory shadows the library.

fix

Rename your local file (e.g., babelfish_example.py) and remove any cached .pyc files.

Unknown code: us

Country constructor expects uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.

fix

Use uppercase: Country('US')
