[SivaAndMe]

This worked for me.

pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0

from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator(service_urls=['translate.googleapis.com','translate.google.com','translate.google.co.kr'])
lang = translator.detect("who are you ?")
result = translator.translate("who are you ?", src='en', dest='hi')
print(lang)
print(result.text)

#Output - 
Detected(lang=en, confidence=1.0)
तुम कौन हो ?

many thannks. This works for me perfectly after suffering for a while.

from googletrans import Translator

translator = Translator() translated = translator.translate('Ina kake ne?. ko zaka bani abinci ne in ci?')

print(translated.text)

Where are you? Will you give me food to eat?

pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

This worked for me.

[Saravananslb]

Use this for google translation and it is working fine https://pypi.org/project/pygoogletranslation

Thank me later

[Saravananslb]

Hi all, we find alternate library for googletrans, that is pygoogletranslation and its functionallity is same as the googletrans.

pip install by - pip install pygoogletranslation

For furthur information refer - https://pypi.org/project/pygoogletranslation/

For me, googletrans still works fine, can someone compare the two to tell us what is the difference and which one is better? Julius

[abelcheung]

Just a brief glance: the one @Saravananslb published uses requests as underlying web session library, while the original one we are using utilizes httpx. The core token generation seems to be very similar, if not identical. I haven't checked clearly though, so take this comment with a grain of salt.

Yes, both are similar but googletrans support max 5000 character but pygoogletranslation support unlimited character.

Token generation process is similar but getting secret key is some what different for these two packages.

Pygoogletranslation support translation from file such as .doc, .docx, .pdf, .txt.

We are keep on updating our package to give end user a very flawless and good experience. We need to your support to improve our package and feedback are welcome.

For more information, please check our pygoogletranslation official python page or GitHub page.

Thanks, Saravananslb

Hi @ssut pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 Is still not working for me and gives the same old error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

There have been many proposed workarounds in this thread, but is there a official solution to this problem now?

the pygoogletranslation library also throws several errors. I created an issue on their (your?) github. Thank you for referring. Let's try to keep this thread clean and focused on a solution for py-googletrans :)

Yes, sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have updated our package to v2.0.3. Please try this version, I hope we have sorted out all the errors. Let me know your feedback to improve our package. We have unlimited character support in the translation.

normal pip installation failed but uninstalled and reinstalled googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 then worked :) tho the object is wierd, i can access the translated text like

a = translator.translate("hi")
translated_text = a.__dict__()["text"]

[LukaZaja]

So when I use googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 it doesn't error out however there is some weirdness:

>>>translator.detect('sentence written in english.')
<googletrans.models.Detected object at 0x7f8254228700>
>>>print(translator.detect('sentence written in english.'))
Detected(lang=en, confidence=None)

So the repr is not what is supposed to be per documentation and I think the issue is that it's not even defined in Detected class definition, fix for that would be to rename dunder str into repr, str just uses repr as a fallback so nothing else should change.

As for confidence, I tried using Translator.detect_legacy and for some reason it gives me confidence as expected.

>>>print(translator.detect_legacy('sentence written in english.'))
Detected(lang=en, confidence=1)

[ziedmaaloul]

hello , same problem for me :(

Idea ? ;)

@SivaAndMe that work for me also https://github.com/SivaAndMe

[SuperZombi]

I am getting this error too. Fix it please

[terryyz]

I am getting this error too. Fix it please

Check #280

[gleidsonh]

pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

This worked for me.

It worked for me on detecting language. Thanks =]

[VictorMegir]

@ssut pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 worked perfectly for me. I'm using Python 3.9.1. mega thx ❤️ 💯

[vesper8]

Still getting the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not NoneType when passing a string greater than 5k and I have uninstalled / reinstalling googletrans==4.0.0rc1

Is this normal?? Has this specific issue been addressed in rc1?

This problem only occurs with googletrans==4.0.0rc1

It works fine on googletrans==3.1.0a0

[shivito1]

I have tried googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 and googletrans==3.1.0a0 example: x = trans.translate("hello",dest="am") Error:

[iamrulai]

googletrans == 4.0.0-rc1 is OK to me.

[Poycodon9x]

pip install google_trans_new I have removed googletrans and replaced the state Cai now. It's working again

[SuperZombi]

pip install googletrans==4.0.0rc1 This is pre-release. It's working for me. Author, publish this pre-release as main.

[igormcsouza]

Using Python 3.7 and googletrans==4.0.0rc1 worked like a charm for me! :D

[danpaldev]

This is still an issue. Use pip install googletrans==4.0.0rc1 and you will have no problems.

[ghost]

the issue is still present for bulk translations

[liliana3186]

I have the same issue Using python 3.7.6 and googletrans==4.0.0rc1

[aprknight]

googletrans 3.0.0 which, at the time of writing, is the released version with Python 3.9.6, macOS 11.5, ISP is BT in the United Kingdom and the 'NoneType object has no attribute group...' issue is a problem for me.

It is obvious from the error trace that the problem lies in: RE_TKK.search(r.text) which is returning None.

Under what circumstances would it do that?

[ValleSell]

This problem occurs if you create a Translator instance for each use of the request. This problem can be partially avoided by using only one instance of the class.

Could you explain how to do that with an example please?

[memory4963]

I met this issue also, and I fixed it by removing the param "service_urls" when constructing the "Translator()"

from

translator = Translator(service_urls=[
       'translate.google.com',
       'translate.google.com.hk',
       'translate.google.co.kr',
     ])

to

translator = Translator()

hope this helps :)

Author used regex for parse html :(

Doesn't work for me even using only one instance.

[MiKatre]

What worked for me today was

pip uninstall googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0

(solution from https://stackoverflow.com/a/69271089/7292383)

[DSPerson]

1. pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0
2. translator = Translator()
3. don't use Translator() service_urls parameter, it work

[lgbongiolo]

best solution here: https://towardsdatascience.com/language-translation-using-python-bd8020772ccc

[alessandrokr]

I fixed it with with changing the the service_urls with the non web version: service_urls = ["translate.googleapis.com"]

[frannylac]

translate.googleapis.com

this url was removed... returns 404

[DoubleStarK]

Python 3.12.2 (main, Feb 6 2024, 20:19:44) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)] on darwin using googletrans==4.0.0rc1, works fine.

[vasamaximov]

googletrans==4.0.0rc1, pythonwin 3.11.4 - works perfectly too
