Trying to get this program to translate letters into numbers so a telephone number with words can be input and will output the number version. (1800GOTJUNK = 18004685865) Not sure where Im going wrong but every output just gives whatever the last letter is and repeats its number for all numbers (1800adgjmptw = 18009999999). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

```
def transNum(string):
    number = 1
    for ch in string:
        if ch.lower() in "abc":
            number = 2
        elif ch.lower() in "def":
            number = 3
        elif ch.lower() in "ghi":
            number = 4
        elif ch.lower() in "jkl":
            number = 5
        elif ch.lower() in "mno":
            number = 6
        elif ch.lower() in "pqrs":
            number = 7
        elif ch.lower() in "tuv":
            number = 8
        elif ch.lower() in "wxyz":
            number = 9
    return number

def translate(phone):
    newNum = ""
    for ch in phone:
        if ch in   ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"]:
            newNum = newNum + str(transNum(phone))
        else:
            newNum = newNum + ch
    return newNum

def main():
    phone = input("enter a phone number")
    noLetters = translate(phone)
    print("The number you entered: ", phone)
    print("Translates to: ", noLetters)

main()

```
