As we all know, 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 troublesome for beginners who don't know how to use proxies.

I recommend a small tool. After you right-click and run it once, you can use Google Translate directly without a proxy.

First, download the tool here:

https://pyvideotrans.com/google.zip

After downloading, unzip 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! Go ahead and try it.

If it fails, don't worry. Keep reading.

Sometimes, due to permission issues, it may prompt a failure. Please pay attention to the prompts after you enter Y, or even if it doesn't prompt a failure, you still can't use Google Translate. In this case, you need to do this:

In the same black window (if it's closed, reopen it by right-clicking on GoogleTranslate.exe), copy the two lines of content.

After copying, open the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. That is, from the system C drive, open the Windows folder, then find and open the System32 folder, 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 suffix, don't worry, it's not an error.

Then right-click on the file, click Properties, and uncheck the "Read-only" box. Click OK.

Next, open the hosts file with Notepad and paste the content you just copied.

Save it, and you're done! Try visiting https://translate.google.com.
