Why is the bot not working?

Question

Python

Hello, I wrote a code for the translate command, the bot receives the word along with the command and gives the translation of the word. I did it through the messages.text.split construction, but the bot outputs that "I didn't understand the word". Where is the mistake?

#Обработчик команды /translate
@bot.message_handler(commands=["translate"])
def translate(message):
    try:
        word = message.text.split(maxsplit=1)[1]
        worden = translator.translate(word, dest='en')
        finword = worden.text
        bot.send_message(message.chat.id, finword)
    except:
        bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Не понял слова")

Used googletrans libraries. At the top of the code declared Translator.

Handle the exception correctly, it's not even clear to you what the error is.
Replace at least except with:

except Exception as err:
    print(str(err))

and look at the error. Or remove the try...except block (leave only what is in the try block) so that the error stack trace is visible.
