How to modify the code to modify dict values in FastAPI dict

For example I take the value of "desc_en" and translate it using your code's logic and update the value of "desc_fr" with the translated string

My code in scrapper.py:

import requests
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from googletrans import Translator

class FastWebScrapingAPI:
def scrape_data(self,categories):
url_news = f"https://thehackernews.com/search/label/{categories}"
res = requests.get(url_news)
soup = BeautifulSoup(res.content, "html.parser")
articles = soup.find_all("a",{"class":"story-link"})
scrappedNews = []
translator = Translator()
for article in articles:
news = {
"title_en": article.find("h2",{"class":"home-title"}).text.strip(),
"desc_en": article.find("div",{"class":"home-desc"}).text.strip(),
"title_fr": "",
"desc_fr": "",
"timestamp": time.time(),
"image_url": article.find("div",{"class":"img-ratio"}).img.get("data-src")
}
#translate_title = translator.translate(str(list(news.values())[0])), src='en', dest='fr')
#translate_desc = translator.translate(list(news.values())[1], src='en', dest='fr')
#print(translate_title.text)
#print(translate_desc.text)
str1 = "French title"
str2 = "French description"
#str1_translate = translator.translate(str1, src='en', dest='fr')
#str2_translate = translator.translate(str2, src='en', dest='fr')
#news.update({"title_fr":str1_translate.text})
#news.update({"desc_fr":str2_translate.text})
news.update({"title_fr":str1})
news.update({"desc_fr":str2})
scrappedNews.append(news)
return scrappedNews

@SNEHAASHISH , @myselfhimself In case you didn't solve this uninstall googletrans
