Error Message: Could Not Get Translations

Hello.
How do I fix this error message:

Error

Hi @mayamadeagithub . Thanks for reporting this.

It looks like Duolingo has changed something about their service and specifically the way programs can reach out to Duolingo to get translations. The AnkiSyncDuolingo plugin uses a third party code library to talk to Duolingo, and other users of that library are reporting an issue similar to yours.

So it looks like this isn't a thing that I can readily fix, and other people will be running into the same problem as you. I'm going to post a prominent notice that (at the current time, anyway) this plugin is broken. I'll look into the issue more this weekend, but as it's a holiday I might not get a chance to really look into it until December 3rd.

I'm actually going to close this one in favor of #59 . Please follow that for a resolution, as they seem to be the same issue. Once again, thanks for raising this.
