found with latest stable version; trans -v is not giving any response. The translated output eventually returns, but after a really long time (some minutes).

You should report the output of trans -V, not trans -v.

That sounds like a network issue then. Try

curl -I http://translate.googleapis.com

and see if you get anything.

If you're on an IPv4 network, try to use trans with the -4 option. Or you can disable IPv6 on your system setting completely.

Mac's IPv6 fallback mechanism is known to cause slowness problems (see #287).

[horstmr]

using -4 option did the trick! many many thanks, I really appreciate! would you mind if I donate a coffee for you?

[soimort]

Good to see it works for you!

Alternatively you can add this line to the configuration

 :ip-version 4

to avoid adding the -4 option in every command.

I'm closing this issue as it is solved.
