When, why and how to avoid KeyError in Odoo Development - keyerror

Question

I´ve noticed that some custom modules that I develop can be installed on databases with records, while others throw the KeyError message, unless the database is empty (no records). Generally the errors appear when the module contains computed fields. So, does anybody know why this happens? and how my code should look like to avoid this kind of errors?
an example computed field that throws this errors looks like this:
from odoo import models, fields, api
from num2words import num2words
Class InheritingAccountMove(models.Model):
_inherit = 'account.move'
total_amount_text = fields.Char(string='Total', compute='_compute_total_amount_text', store=True)
#api.depends('amount_total')
def _compute_total_amount_text(self):
lang_code = self.env.context.get('lang') or self.env.user.lang
language = self.env['res.lang'].search([('iso_code', '=', lang_code)])
separator = language.read()[0]['decimal_point']
for record in self:
decimal_separator = separator
user_language = lang_code[:2]
amount = record.amount_total
amount_list = str(amount).split(decimal_separator)
amount_first_part = num2words(int(amount_list[0]), lang=user_language).title() + ' '
amount_second_part = amount_list[1]
if len(amount_second_part) == 0:
amount_text = amount_first_part + '00/100'
elif len(amount_second_part) < 2:
amount_text = amount_first_part + amount_second_part + '0/100'
else:
amount_text = amount_first_part + amount_second_part[:2] + '/100'
record.total_amount_text = amount_text

UPDATED
The reason your code has a problem in this situation is that when there are no records in the table(at time of installation) your loop won’t run which result in no value assigning of your computed field so
Add the first line of code in function
self.total_amount_text = False This is required to assign value to the computed field in compute function from Odoo 13 and maybe 12
----------------------------------------------------------------
Other reasons could be :
This error occurs when one tries to access a key from a dictionary that doesn't exist like,
language.read()[0]['decimal_point']
the dictionary may not have 'decimal_point' at the time of installation of the module, which may have returned this error a common way to handle this is by checking if the key exists or not before accessing it like,
if 'decimal_point' in language.read()[0].keys()
also, a dictionary can also be empty in that case the language.read()[0] will throw an error

I´ve changed my code making it specifically for spanish and the error doesn´t appear anymore. I appreciate Muhammad´s answer, maybe he´s right but anyway here is the modified code:
#api.depends('invoice_line_ids')
def _compute_total_amount_text(self):
for record in self:
amount = record.amount_total
amount_list = str(amount).split('.')
amount_first_part = num2words(int(amount_list[0]), lang='es').title() + ' '
amount_second_part = amount_list[1]
if len(amount_second_part) == 0:
amount_text = amount_first_part + '00/100'
elif len(amount_second_part) < 2:
amount_text = amount_first_part + amount_second_part + '0/100'
else:
amount_text = amount_first_part + amount_second_part[:2] + '/100'
record.total_amount_text = amount_text
