How can I use the variable input into a python dictionary?

Question

Good day everyone, May I ask something. I've been having trouble with this problem code. I really need to make my own word translator but the problem is when the translation_word doesn't have the key and values.

The code:

enter = input("Please Enter the word/s: ")


translation_word = {
    "ONE": "Uno",
    "TWO": "Dos",
    "THREE":"Tres",
    "FOUR": "Kwatro",
    "FIVE": "Singko",
    "SIX": "Sais",
    "SEVEN": "Syete",
    "EIGHT": "Otso",
    "NINE": "Nwebe",
    "TEN": "Gis",
    enter.upper(): enter


}

Keys = enter.upper().split()
print(Keys)


# get translation and join the translated words into a single string
Values = ' '.join(translation_word.get(str(Key)) for Key in Keys)
print(Values)






expected result:
input: one two three eleven
output: Uno Dos Tres eleven

The code actually worked if I tried the input one two three but when I added something without in KEY&VALUE it always says error.

you can use a simple if statement to check if the key exists and print something if it doesn’t. For example:

if key in translation_word:
  Values = ''.join(translation_word.get(str(Key)) for Key in Keys)
  print(Values)
else:
  print("This word can't be translated, please enter a different word")
