Calibre will keep these separate, even if the Translator is also a Author

The advantages:
1) the reader supports Author entries

3) Calibre ignores stuff inside ( ), when computing Author_sort
That's useful to know - I have a number of shared world, anthologies and serial box titles and it's a nuisance to sort these so that they all end up in the same series instead of scattered across multiple authors. I've been seriously thinking of creating a primary author column.

If you use the () flag, how does that author display in the author list in the left hand browser section?
