JSONDecodeError using Google Translate API with Python3

I think I may have found an answer to my own question. If I reduce the number of characters I feed to the API at once to 5k, everything seems to work fine. Strange since the Googletrans documentation says that the limit is 15k... Ah well. I will have to batch the request.

You have to stop using googletrans until they fix it, and use translate instead :
