I have an old project that I’m trying to integrate a translator into using implementation ‘com.google.mlkit:translate:16.0.0’
When I started it, I started getting errors with DuplicateClasses:

as a consequence I decided to exclude androidx:

configurations {
 all {
 exclude group: 'androidx.core', module: 'core'
 }
}

But now when I try to translate I get an error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/core/os/ConfigurationCompat;
As I understand it, if I don’t have androidx in the project, then I can’t use Google ML Kit?
Is it possible to solve this dilemma?

I tried changing Google Ml Kit versions but it didn’t help.
