How to fix googletrans error?

Question

Python

This code, made according to one manual

from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()


def form_flags(reaction_name):
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, ':', '', 2)
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, 'f', '', 1)
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, 'l', '', 1)
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, 'a', '', 1)
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, 'g', '', 1)
    reaction_name = str.replace(reaction_name, '_', '', 1)
    str(reaction_name)
    return reaction_name


reaction = ":flag_ru:"
react_lang = form_flags(reaction)
print(react_lang)
message = "hello"
result = translator.translate(message, dest=react_lang)
final = result.text
print(final)

prints the following error:

Use another library
- translators: https://github.com/UlionTse/translators/
- smallgoogletranslator (my library, and to be honest, the code there is disgusting :)) - https://github.com/MagM1go/GoogleTranslator
- Deep translator : https://pypi.org/project/deep-translator/
