    If JavaScript is a barrier, use Selenium or Playwright to load content in real-time, regardless of language.

    If you encounter encoding issues, use libraries like Unidecode to handle UTF-8 or other non-ASCII text.

    I find Python’s translation libraries, like googletrans, helpful when I need to translate scraped data into English.
