Python : Get elements using Selenium

Target text is in div instead of textarea - and it has also id so xpath is short

'//div[@id="target-dummydiv"]'

But I couldn't get text using

content.text   # empty list

but I could get it with

content.get_attribute('innerHTML')

Because I used page with Polish language so I had lists with Polish names - ie. "Angielski" instead of "English" so I couldn't use names on list to select language and I used

for source language

@dl-test="translator-lang-option-en"
@dl-test="translator-lang-option-fr"
@dl-test="translator-lang-option-pl"

for target language

@dl-test="translator-lang-option-en-EN"
@dl-test="translator-lang-option-fr-FR"
@dl-test="translator-lang-option-pl-PL"

Some languages show alternative translations which I could get with

'//button[@class="lmt__translations_as_text__text_btn"]'

It needed only to skip empty strings.

Result:

__________________________________________________
Original    : hello this is me not him
Translation : Bonjour, c'est moi, pas lui.
Alternative : Bonjour, c'est moi et non lui.
Alternative : Allo, c'est moi, pas lui.
