Where does Calibre expose the Creator / Translator role.
Using the external program 'EPUB Metadata Editor' I am able to set a Translator or Editor for a book separate from its author (via the creator/role drop down). This is stored somewhere in the EPUB metadata as it appears again when I re-open the epub in EPUB Metadata Editor.
I can't seem to find where this extra information is exposed in Calibre for editing. It would be nice to see it on the main edit metadata page. Does this exist? Thanks - |

Not from the MDE (views).
AFAIK you can only see that (role=) in the books OPF (not controlled by Calibre). I have been manually adding various role-types into the Authors column: Joe (trans) Mike (creator) Sam (illus) Betty (ed) BTW the () does not mess up the sort. You could create a custom column (#roles. ) Since identifiers is not a custom type, creator:Mike, illus:Sam it gets ugly. matching a name with a role. So I stick with my method. Maybe someone will write a PI the scans for roles and makes the entru into Authors (this requires no change to Calibre) |

Calibre doesn't support roles for authors and contributors.
