Translators
I would like to have a field to enter the name of the translator of each book, but I can't find it in the metadata. A good translation is very important when you read books that were written in languages differents from your own. Can anybody add this field?
Thanks in advance Enrique |

If you keep your ebooks in calibre, you can add a custom column for Translator, but only Amazon can change the metadata they choose to have and display in their ebooks.

I simply add (trans) to that persons name in the Authors column.
Calibre will keep these separate, even if the Translator is also a Author (illus), (ed) are other flags. The advantages: 1) the reader supports Author entries
2 No special columns 3) Calibre ignores stuff inside ( ), when computing Author_sort |

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

Genre / Author Sort / Series & Index - subseries & index - Title sort - Author name - short fiction flag I'm planning (when I have some time) to set up a primary author column and use that for the oddities in place of Author Sort. |
