okay so translating fails for you more or less regardless of the tex file.

This error message is very helpful — Thank you. It looks like the default Python interpreter in `/usr/bin/python` is set to `python2.6`. Could you please check this by following these steps:

1. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
2. Paste the following command and press “Return”

	/usr/bin/python -V

3. The output of the command should be `Python 2.7.6`

If it is not, then you can change the default version of Python with the following Terminal command:

	defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Version 2.7

Please let me know if these steps helped to solve your problem.

Kind regards,
  René
