Hi @mzeidhassan, could you provide more information of your test environment. That translation actually worked for me at least...

[mzeidhassan]

Hi @terryyz
Thanks for your follow-up. I don't have access to my home laptop at the moment, but I tested it on another machine, and indeed it is working fine now. Sorry about the false alarm. Thanks again for your support.

Oops, I think most of the service_urls don't actually work in this version. But I'll check the issue thoroughly.

What if you just try the default setting? Like:

from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
tranlated = translator.translate('hello.', dest='zh-CN')
print(tranlated)

from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
tranlated = translator.translate('hello.', dest='zh-CN')
print(tranlated)

This code have the same
