• Input Handling:

  • Retrieves the user-entered text from input_box and strips any unnecessary whitespace.

  • Checks if valid text and language are provided.

• Translation Logic:

  • Uses the googletrans.Translator object to translate the input text into the selected target language (dest).

• Error Handling:

  • Catches exceptions to handle errors (e.g., no internet connection or unsupported languages).

• Output Display:

  • Updates the output_box with the translated text or an error message.
