I currently don't have a Windows machine to check on this, but if somebody figures out what the issue is a PR would be most welcome 🙏

Any updates here? im still getting this error.

Any hint or workaround would be appreciated!
Is there maybe any option to install an older(working) version of LibreTranslate on windows?

[kanchanbarwade]

Yes, it is working when I installed an older version of Python on windows. And I did not find any solution to the current version of Python.

Thanks. I tried it with Python Version 3.9.4 and it worked.

It appears the Problems are due to changes in Python 3.11.0

Can confirm its an issue with Python 3.11.X - Version 3.9.0 also Works just fine

Does this issue still happen? I was able to install via pip install libretranslate on Windows 10, Python 3.11.5.

I just successfully installed via pip install libretranslate on Windows 10, Python 3.11.5

To update:

Just installed with Python 3.11.6 in Windows 10. However, It didn't work for me with Python 3.12.2 first for the OP reason (Failed to build sentencepiece).

Thanks.
