Error with on reaction add, How to resolve this?

Question

Code Example

@client.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    channel = reaction.message.channel
    if reaction.emoji == '':
        translaty = translator.translate(
            str(reaction.message.content), lang_tgt='es')
        await channel.send("Translating {}'s message: {}".format(str(reaction.message.author)[:-5], reaction.message.content))
        await channel.send("`" + str(translaty) + "`") 

The current code was working however i am not getting the following error.

Ignoring exception in on_reaction_add

Any help would be greatly appreciated, my mind has just gone blank and cannot seem to work it out. As I stated above this worked about 1 week ago and i have not touched the code since, but now I just get the above error.

I think you're suffering from an unfortunate error with the google translate library you're using to translate the message.

Had a quick look online and someone's already posted a workaround here
