Translate translate = TranslateOptions.newBuilder().setApiKey("myKey").build().getService(); Sometimes takes Very Long Time! #1925

The Java/Android client used to work flawlessly, but This error occurred a few weeks ago and still no fix. My app users are getting very frustrated.

Translate translate = TranslateOptions.newBuilder().setApiKey(MY_API_KEY).build().getService(); Sometimes Takes Very Long time

In my Main Activity, I initialize the Translate variable. If you look at the logs: I track when the initialization starts and when it finishes. Most of the time it initializes quick. But 1/5 times it takes up to 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Example Code

AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> asyncTask = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

    @Override
    public void onPostExecute (Void aVoid) {

        Log.i("APP", "finished");

    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
        Log.i("APP", "start");
      Translate  translate = TranslateOptions.newBuilder().setApiKey("AIzaSyB7cCDBbeoZ2tYTH-Ynv25OaPraLmTG7Hw").build().getService();
        return null;
    }

};
asyncTask.execute();

I also have the latest versions in gradle:

compile ('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.11.0-alpha')
compile ('com.google.apis:google-api-services-translate:v2-rev49-1.22.0')

0.13.0-apha isn't available but i tested with beta and still same issue.
