I have also encountered the same problem. After some search I found the answer. Here is the [link](https://stackoverflow.com/a/73599382/18448214) to the solution. — zain.py, Sep 04 '22 at 12:34

There's an open issue on the repo currently: I'll attach the link here but give a quick explanation.

https://github.com/geekpradd/PyDictionary/issues/52

There's a dependency for the google translate aspect of the package that depends on Python 2 code. That's causing the package to fail to install on Python 3.10+ (In the dependency repo they explicitly declare that it won't work on Python 3+).

One of the answerers on the github issue said he found a workaround by installing futures before attempting to install PyDictionary

please put the relevant coded example in the reply. Github links tend to go dead over time. You can always include the link as additional reference. – jonathan Jun 03 '22 at 19:32
