Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze after clicking Translate with DeepL Screen Scraper plugin 0.4 on Windows 10 with .NET 4.7.2, and check whether Subtitle Edit stops responding or can be cancelled. Done means the plugin no longer freezes the program during translation and the behavior is verified in the reported environment.

Description

First time using the new plugin and when clicking in Translate button SE just freezes, I can't cancel nor close the program. I have to terminate it from Process Hacker.
Is this normal and should I wait?

I'm using latest version of the plugin (0.4), .Net v4.7.2 and latest Windows 10 updates.

P.S. I went to Kaspersky's Network Monitor and it doesn't show SE so it isn't using Internet at all thus less likely this behavior is normal.
