I don’t have any privileges on this repo. But I did some debugging I think the actual issue here is that goslate depends on futures, and futures >=3.0.0 isn’t installable on python3 at all. The pypi page calls this out saying It does not work on Python 3 due to Python 2 syntax being used in the codebase. Python 3 users should not attempt to install it, since the package is already included in the standard library. – https://pypi.org/project/futures/

I am able to work around the issue by installing futures ❤️.0.0 before installing PyDictionary:

>>> from PyDictionary import PyDictionary
>>> dictionary = PyDictionary()
>>> print(dictionary.meaning("indentation"))
{'Noun': ['a concave cut into a surface or edge (as in a coastline', 'the formation of small pits in a surface as a consequence of corrosion', 'the space left between the margin and the start of an indented line', 'the act of cutting into an edge with toothlike notches or angular incisions']}

Simple usage appears to be working as expected, but it does appear that Google translation is broken (which uses goslate):

>>> print(dictionary.translate("Range",'es'))

Pinging @geekpradd @bunchesofdonald @hpanago @morgansliman @njvrzm -

PyDictionary appears to be uninstallable on Python 3.10.

If the repo is no longer being maintained, would it be possible to add someone here to the project to help get it fixed?
