Actually, I just got it to fix by updating to the newest version. That will solve the problem

[bigplayer-ai]

the same problem here.

[alphaoumardev]

The same problem here too

I remember that I was able to fix this issue, but I cannot remember exactly how. However It seems that it works on version 4.0.0-rc1, so instead of doing pip install try to force it to do the most recent version. Seems backwards but I believe that is how I fixed it, all I remember was that it was an easier fix than I thought.

[Kasherpete]

Try pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

[Yildirimm]

Try pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

I installed it but now it gives the following error.

File "C:\Users\...\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\json\__init__.py", line 339, in loads
    raise TypeError(f'the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, '
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not NoneType

[Yildirimm]

However, this link worked for me.
It uses an older version of googletrans
pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0

[alphaoumardev]

It works for me

[Kasherpete]

Weird, do you have a sample code @Yildirimm?

[xdevfaheem]

However, this link worked for me. It uses an older version of googletrans pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0

Excellent This Worked for me!

[cgaravitoc]

there is a way to install last version with conda? I mean, which will be the solution to avoid conflicts for an env fully created with conda?

[ErtungaYusuf]

For those who have the same problem. Just make sure; don't forget to install the working versions (4.0.0-rc1 or 3.1.0a0) in the venv, like me. it took me 1 hour to figure out where I went wrong.
