Translating anything fails with exception "json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 300 (char 299)"

Same issue:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google_trans_new/google_trans_new.py", line 188, in translate
    raise e
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google_trans_new/google_trans_new.py", line 152, in translate
    response = json.loads(response)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/json/__init__.py", line 346, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/json/decoder.py", line 340, in decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Extra data", s, end)
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 1962 (char 1961)

Hope you can fix this soon.

Change the line 151 in google_trans_new/google_trans_new.py which is:
response = (decoded_line + ']')
to
response = decoded_line

Same issue 😑

[luke315]

151行
response = (decoded_line + ']')
导致json解析错误
修改成
response = (decoded_line)
即可

If you want to use language detect function,

def detect(self, text):

you should fix the line 233

response = (decoded_line + ']')
to
response = (decoded_line)

This solution worked for me. It should be implemented in the code in the repo and update a new version on pip, this is a major bug.

[daleidenmt]

When can a new release be expected? This is a major bug.

I refactored the translation part of google-trans-new using httpx: https://github.com/ffreemt/google-itranslate, not fully tested though.

To install via pip:

pip install itranslate

The package also provide an async version: atranslate.

[kmkolasinski]

Hi, thanks for fix. Are you going to release the new pip package ?

[meoww]

is it possible to release a new version with that fix?

[NicoCaldo]

same issue, waiting for the fix as I can't manually edit the package on my project

[crangarita]

Thanks, I edited the file manually and everything worked

Many thanks for pushing this out with the json loads issue fixed. I thought it had been incorporated into google_trans_new but even when I uninstalled/reinstalled the package, the old broken code was still in place. Your version plugged in almost seamlessly to a project where I was using google_trans_new. Only differences being in the way you call it (yes, I actually had to read your instructions) and in the way the target language is specified.
