Answer 1

finally.... i solved it by doing this

1. changing the google play services dependency version from 9.8.0 to 9.6.0.

 2.forcing google play services to install in "resolutionStrategy" section



 ie: `configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
              force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.0'
        }
    }`

note these are the main changes i did in my gradle:

     compile ('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.5.0') {
                exclude group: 'io.grpc', module: 'grpc-all'
                exclude group: 'com.google.protobuf', module: 'protobuf-java'
                exclude group: 'com.google.api-client', module: 'google-api-client-appengine'
            }

and configurations to force dependencies to override some common classes 

    configurations.all {
            exclude group: "org.apache.httpcomponents", module: "httpclient"
            exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
            resolutionStrategy {
                force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:1.3.9'
                force 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
                force 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
                force 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
                force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.0'
            }
        }

Answer 2

You need to exclude it from the lib. You should have something like this in your gradle

compile('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.5.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}
