I am facing the same issue. The code snippet on the page doesn't work either.
Is there a fix to this issue ?

Locally the changes made to the line 155 in the file google_trans_new/google_trans_new.py works, but I am using the package as a dependency on Heroku, the error still persists there

[michalis001]

not working for me either

[braindevices]

does not work at all

[erikjamesmason]

@Namyalg, can you specify your fix in google_trans_new.py?

[Namyalg]

Hi, @erikjamesmason , I followed this issue #36, the third comment seemed to solve my problem locally

[erikjamesmason]

@Namyalg awesome, thank you very much!

google translator not working
It's showing this error, tried the solution given above but still the same error persists

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\PYTHON PROJECT\voice_translator.py", line 2, in
from google_trans_new import google_translator
File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\google_trans_new_init_.py", line 7, in
from .google_trans_new import google_translator
File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\google_trans_new\google_trans_new.py", line 4, in
import json, requests, random, re
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Hope to get an alternative solution soon that works! Thankyou in advance :)

Hey guys, having the same problem. As a workaround, do the following:
Change line 156 in file /lib/python3.10/site-packages/google_trans_new/google_trans_new.py, (or wherever your lib is installed) from
response = (decoded_line + ']')
to
response = (decoded_line + '')

EDIT: Whoops, that was already recommended in the other issue, sorry.

I also encounted the json error. it is yet to still be fixed.

I was able to use https://github.com/nidhaloff/deep-translator to solve my problem.
