Hi, Quentin!

When you ask a question it is best to give the code you have. For 
beginner problems you may even get a hint from people who haven't used 
the library in question. That said, I have just installed googletrans, 
and changing the destination language appears to be as easy as

 >>> import googletrans as gt
 >>> t = gt.Translator()
 >>> for language in ["de", "fr", "es"]:
...     print(t.translate("Hello, world!", dest=language).text)
...
Hallo Welt!
Bonjour le monde!
¡Hola Mundo!

Does that help?
