How to solve this problem?

import epitran

epi = epitran.Epitran('eng-Latn')

epi.transliterate('Hello')
WARNING:root:lex_lookup (from flite) is not installed.

It's working for other languages but not english

English support requires the installation of lex_lookup from the Flite speech synthesis package. See the README (specifically https://github.com/dmort27/epitran#installation-of-flite-for-english-g2p). There has been some difficulty getting this to compile properly on Windows.
