Hi @averyavi! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

The error happens because the DDGS object from the duckduckgo-search library does not have a translate method—this is not implemented in Dify core or official plugins. The DuckDuckGo Translate tool is not part of Dify’s open-source codebase, so this issue comes from a third-party or custom plugin that incorrectly assumes such a method exists. Upgrading the duckduckgo-search package (as discussed in issue langgenius/dify#12307) can fix some DuckDuckGo-related errors, but it won’t resolve this AttributeError since the translate method simply isn’t present in the library.

To resolve this, you’ll need to update your custom tool or plugin to use a supported translation API or tool. Dify’s workflow supports integrating other translation services (like Google Translate or DeepL) via API calls or plugins that are officially documented and maintained. If you need translation in your workflow, consider switching to one of those supported options.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
