Translator is displayed instead of Author
Hello
I got my first Kobo after 10 years with Amazon and the Kindle. I'm using Calibre 6.11. I transferred it with Calibre to the device. Only in my ereader it shows me the translator as the author instead of the writer. I have no problems with other translated books. I searched to edit Metadata in Calibre but I didn't found the translator field. And especially why in my Kobo it is the translator and not the writer who is noted. Thank you ! |

calibre does not manage translators separately from authors. Most likely the file in question has a separate translator defined without a correct role and the kobo is picking it up as an author. You can use the edit book tool, then open the OPF file inside the ebook and delete the trnaslator from there.
