Thanks! Got it to work. In case others are interested:
- type of column matters: according to the tooltip: a long text column (comment-type) is needed both for translator and original title - I had the translator column as comma-separated text with name checkbox checked (following an advice from other thread) and I think that's why it didn't work
- the info is extracted from inside the epub files
- order of lookup text matters e.g. earlier elements should not be shorthand versions of latter, otherwise the search will stop too early and the rest of the text will be included in the title
Edit:
One more thing I just noticed: if the text (such as "translated by") and the name of the translator are on two lines in two different paragraphs (<p> blocks) the plugin won't recognise the translator name. With a <br/> instead, it works - i tested it just for the sake of it. Unfortunatelly, about 50% of my books have the translator just below the title, on two lines (each one with P and css class) - for example:
<h4>Author Name<h4>
<h3>Title<h3>
<p class="translator">translated by</p>
<p class="translator">Translator Name</p>
In such cases, apparently it doesn't work. If i combine the two paragraph on one line or single p block, and I break it with <br/>, it works
