It seems to be this ssut/py-googletrans#234 caused by py-googletrans. Perhaps replacing the dependency to https://github.com/Saravananslb/py-googletranslation may solve this issue.

Currently if you don't have too many subtitles files to do a bulk translation, you can use the following command to do a manual-copy-and-paste translation. (Not listed in the readme)

autosub -i {file} -tapi man -of dst -doc -mts 9820 -tf txt -F ass

This will generate a txt file which contain a certain amount of words to be translated. Then you copy them to any of the translation website such as https://www.deepl.com/translator. After that you copy all the translation results from the website and then overwrite all the content in the previous txt. Then input enter in autosub and do these again until all the content being translated and the translated subtitles will be generated.

Is there an easy way to make it use py-google translation instead?

[BingLingGroup]

I tried these arguments and it works.

autosub -SRC en -D zh -surl translate.google.com -slp 0.1

tried with the command and got the error
"autosub: error: unrecognized arguments: -tapi man -mts 9820 -tf txt"

@zhenghan3 You need to use the latest dev version in the github repo dev branch.
