As everyone knows, Google, including Google Translate, is inaccessible in China.
Therefore, to use the Google Translate channel in video translation and dubbing software, you need to fill in a proxy address, which is very troublesome for beginners who don't know how to use proxies.
Here's a recommended small tool that, once opened and run with a right-click, allows you to use Google Translate directly without a proxy.
First, download the tool here:
https://pyvideotrans.com/google.zip
After downloading, extract it to a folder. There are 3 files inside. Right-click on the GoogleTranslate.exe file and select "Run as administrator".
Then a black window will open and run automatically. When the text prompt "Set to Host file? (Y: Set)" appears, enter the letter Y from the keyboard and press Enter. That's it! Success! Go try it out.
Don't panic if it fails. Continue reading.
Sometimes, due to permission issues, a failure message may appear. Please carefully observe the prompt after you enter Y, or even if no failure message is displayed, you still cannot use Google Translate. In this case, further action is required.
Also, in the black window above (if it has been closed, reopen it by right-clicking GoogleTranslate.exe), copy the two lines of content.
After copying, open the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. That is, from the C drive, open the Windows folder, then find the System32 folder and open it, then find the drivers folder and open it, and then find the etc folder and open it. You will see the hosts file or the uppercase HOSTS file. This file has no extension. Don't worry, this is not an error.
Then, right-click on the file, click Properties, uncheck the "Read-only" box, and click OK.
Next, open the hosts file with Notepad and paste the content you just copied.
After saving, you are done. Try visiting https://translate.google.com.
