ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

At some point I get this error using google translate option:

Is it because of google "banning" too much requests?

[yeahman45]

I understand you get banned by google because of the amount of requests made? is it possible to send the whole text in the srt and get it translated in one request?

[gunesmes]

Google translate allows 5000 characters at a time so we can translate regarding this limit. It would be a good feature but need to test this before implementation. Will you volunteer for this?

hey @yeahman45, I released v2 by implementing raw translation via googletranslatepy. If you have time, please check it and feel free to contribute.

The new version translated a long subtitle successfully.
