py-googletrans looks promising

I've already tried various Google translate endpoints in the past w/o success, will give this a look later

I've been doing this manually using Google Translate with MacroDroid on my phone.
I just copy all the lyrics (from LrcLib or Kugou) along with their timecodes, then paste them into Google Translate via browser.
I replace the newline and space characters beforehand using regex.

I'm not sure if this is helpful, though.

py-googletrans somewhat works, although translation.pronunciation is always None, but in translation.extra_data I can see the romaji

input: 獣は砂を一握り撒いた

`py-googletrans` somewhat works, although `translation.pronunciation` is always None, but in `translation.extra_data` I can see the romaji input: `獣は砂を一握り撒いた` output: ```json { "translation": [ [ "The beast spread a handful of sand", "獣は砂を一握り撒いた", null, null, 3, null, null, [ [ null, "offline" ] ], [ [ [ "b8e89a82d2c70a0f411a34d09528c227", "offline_launch_doc.md" ] ] ] ], [ null, null, null, "Kemono wa suna o hitonigiri maita" ] ], "all-translations": null, "original-language": "ja", "possible-translations": [ [ "獣は砂を一握り撒いた", null, [ [ "The beast spread a handful of sand", null, true, false, [ 3 ], null, [ [ 3 ] ] ] ], [ [ 0, 10 ] ], "獣は砂を一握り撒いた", 0, 0 ] ], "confidence": 1, "possible-mistakes": null, "language": [ [ "ja" ], null, [ 1 ], [ "ja" ] ], "synonyms": null, "definitions": null, "examples": null, "see-also": null } ```

What remains to be figured out is, how can we reliably get the romanization from that json?
Is the json always consistent?
Why is py-googletrans not detecting the pronunciation?
