is there any plans to fix API rate limit error with the upcoming updates? #97

Hi,

It seems that it is a common issue by many users, and in my case, when I try to translate (from Swedish to English) after a few times, I get this error: The API rate limit has been exceeded. Please try again later. As waiting for sometimes (so that this error would go away) is not an ideal solution, I was wondering if you have any plans to fix this with the upcoming update or this issue has no solution and will remain?

The rate limit is enforced by Google Translate API.

You could use a VPN or cycle your IP address to bypass the limit.

Thank you for your respond and recommendations, does this means this issue will remain like this in the future updates as the rate limit is enforced by Google?

Yes, that is correct.
