Hello everyone, I'm having a problem managing epub metadata, basically I have this series of translated books where it's supposed to have an author, but no matter how I changed or polished the book, when I sent the book to koreader it would display a different author instead(with et al. at the end signifying other authors) .
I decided to look into it and if I extract the epub file and look at the "content.opf" file inside, I think I see the problem
Code:
<dc:creator id="creator02">translator</dc:creator>
<dc:creator id="creator03">translator</dc:creator>
<dc:creator id="creator04">translator</dc:creator>
<dc:creator id="id-1">author</dc:creator>
<dc:rights>Copyright © 2013 author</dc:rights>
I changed their actual names here to author and translator, but basically what's displayed in koreader are the translator names instead of the author, and I can't see the extra "creator" names at all in calibre, the only name that shows up is the actual author name, so I can't change or remove these extra people from the interface, since they don't show up at all.
Using the polish book tool doesn't work either, it just stays the same with these extra people there.
Now, I'm not technical at all, I need to know, is there any easy way to just remove these "creators" directly from the calibre interface? so that the author is displayed correctly in koreader? Or will I need to do something more complicated like editing the files one by one using the edit book tool to get it how I want? I'm honestly not good with this so I don't want to "break" my books.
EDIT: I saw another of my books with multiple authors and I think the normal behavior should be for calibre to show all the "creator" tags as authors separated with &'s, so I think the problem here is that calibre just isn't detecting all the "creator" tags here, thus not allowing me to delete the other "creators"
