The bot however doesn't crash and keeps refreshing the page, printing the same 2nd stack trace every time. Is this an issue with multi language support?

I was able to stop the errors by deleting the strings associated with other stores in amazon.py. Not sure if its something to do with windows language settings but I only have regular english installed.
