Trouble Translating a Second Word Using TranslationAPI

I’m developing an app to save words that users learn in a language they are studying.

Here’s the basic workflow:

1. Type a new word
2. Add the new word
3. Every time a word is added, it gets saved to a list that includes its meaning and the name of the language — useful when saving words in multiple languages

Problem: For some reason, the “Add new word” button only works for the first word. The second word is not being added to the list.

Here is my code:

import SwiftUI import NaturalLanguage import Translation

struct ContentView: View { @State private var inputWord: String = "" @State private var detectedLanguage: String? @State private var translationConfiguration: TranslationSession.Configuration? @StateObject private var viewModel = WordViewModel()

var body: some View {
    VStack(spacing: 24) {
        // Input field
        TextField("Type a word in any language", text: $inputWord)
            .padding()
            .background(Color(.systemGray6))
            .cornerRadius(10)
        
        // Button to translate and save
        Button("Add new word") {
            translateAndSave()
        }

// .disabled(inputWord.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).isEmpty) .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)

        // List of saved words
        Text("My Words")
            .font(.system(.title2))
        List {
            ForEach(viewModel.words) { word in
                VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 4) {
                    Text(word.inputWord)
                        .font(.headline)
                    Text(word.nativeTranslation)
                        .font(.subheadline)
                        .foregroundColor(.gray)
                    Text(word.detectedLanguage.uppercased())
                        .font(.caption)
                        .foregroundColor(.blue)
                }
                .padding(.vertical, 4)
            }
        }
        
        Spacer()
    }
    .padding()
    .animation(.easeInOut, value: detectedLanguage)
    
    // Automatically triggers translation when configuration changes
    .translationTask(translationConfiguration) { session in
        do {
            let response = try await session.translate(inputWord)
            viewModel.addWord(
                input: inputWord,
                native: response.targetText,
                detected: detectedLanguage ?? "Unknown"
            )
            // Reset fields after saving
            inputWord = ""
            detectedLanguage = nil
            translationConfiguration = nil
        } catch {
            // Handle error
            print("Translation error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }
}

// Function to detect language
private func detectLanguage() {
    let recognizer = NLLanguageRecognizer()
    recognizer.processString(inputWord)
    if let code = recognizer.dominantLanguage?.rawValue {
        let name = Locale.current.localizedString(forIdentifier: code)
        detectedLanguage = name?.capitalized
    } else {
        detectedLanguage = "Unable to detect"
    }
}

// Function to prepare translation
private func translateAndSave() {
    detectLanguage()
    translationConfiguration = TranslationSession.Configuration(
        source: nil,
        target: Locale.Language(identifier: "en")
    )
}

}

Question:

1. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
