Behavior

When a non-existent language or data type is provided to the total command, the system returns an incorrect number of lexemes instead of a "Not found" message.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the total command with an invalid language or data type.
2. Observe that the command returns a number instead of indicating that the language or data type doesn't exist.

Expected Behavior: When a non-existent language or data type is provided, the command should return a clear message indicating "Total number of lexemes: Not found" instead of returning incorrect results.

Proposed Solution:

• [ ] Add a check function to validate if the provided language and data type exist in the language_metadata or data_type_metadata.
• [ ] If either the language or data type does not exist, the system should return a "Not found" message without executing the query.
