bilingual lexicon

Question

. Represent a small bilingual lexicon as a Python dictionary in the following fashion
{"merry":"god", "christmas":"jul", "and":"och", "happy":gott", "new":"nytt",
"year":"år"} and use it to translate your Christmas cards from English into Swedish.
That is, write a function translate() that takes a list of English words and returns a list
of Swedish words.

code:
def trans(lst):
dicti = {"merry":"god", "christmas":"jul", "and":"och", "happy":"gott", "new":"nytt",
"year":"år"}
for i in lst:
a = i
b = dicti[a]
print(b)
lst1 = ['Merry', 'christmas', 'and', 'happy', 'new', 'year']
trans(lst1)

why my code doesnt work

Answer 1

While running this code a key error occurred because in your dictionary the m in merry is small but in your list the m in merry is capital.
Since Python is case sensitive it considers both of them as different.
I would suggest try using the lower() function.

Answer 2

Pavan Sirsat also the next time try to write and save the code in solo learn and share link, it makes executing and debugging the code easier.
