Clarification and Thanks for Your Assistance

Clarification and Thanks for Your Assistance

Hello Mr theducks,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. I appreciate your suggestion regarding the custom 'description' page; however, I'd like to clarify a few points.

I don't use non-ASCII characters intentionally in Calibre metadata or filenames. Instead, these characters are sourced from databases like Goodreads when fetching metadata. The challenge I'm facing is that certain titles and author names, retrieved in this process, contain non-ASCII characters that represent non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic.

To address this, I've developed a plugin to automatically translate these non-ASCII characters into Arabic. Unfortunately, I'm encountering an issue where the plugin doesn't appear in the Plugin column, even though it's installed. I've tried searching for a solution to display it, but so far, I haven't been successful.

I wanted to share this information to clarify that my intention is not to introduce non-ASCII characters but rather to automate the translation of these characters that originate from Goodreads' book databases.

I would also like to express my gratitude for your willingness to help and your interest in my issue. Your guidance is valuable, and I'm thankful for your support.

Best regards,
