I wrote a few lines using Translator function in Googletrans a few days ago. But I was trying to re-run those lines today and it popped a series of errors... I'm really confused by this. If you have experienced similar issue, please comment below. Any help is welcome!!
from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
trans1 = translator.translate('Hello', dest = 'es')
The error I got is following:
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-19-c0f9e5495a2f> in <module>()

I tried to do research on this error msg, but got nothing. What confused me the most is that this simple code worked perfectly fine 3 days ago. But when i open up this morning, i popped errors. Please help. Thank you so much!
I got the solution below from this link.
Solution:
pip install git+https://github.com/BoseCorp/py-googletrans.git --upgrade
It worked perfectly for me!
