Yea that's a problem from googletrans ( ssut/py-googletrans#234 ) and we could try to solve it but since Google changed their method of authenticating a user and managing sessions (the JSON RPC one we are using for GoogleTranslate) I don't think that it will work

Google changed their method of authenticating a user and managing session

Ah, in that case maybe it makes sense to remove gtoken from translatepy completely? Or maybe make the old implementation separately in GoogleTranslateV3?

I thought it would be fine to keep it, knowing that it will just raise an exception which will be catched.

Also, if this one is still on googletrans it should mean that it is still possible to use it in some way so why not keep it and if it works good if not well too bad it will just fall back to another endpoint
