if symbol.isupper():

translated += chr(num)
else:
translated += symbol

return translated

mode = getMode()
message = getMessage()
key = getKey()
print('Your translated text is:')
print(getTranslatedMessage(mode, message, key)


it is the middle elif section that is showing up as an error however i dont know how to correct it.
