   You're right that version and edition aren't the same thing, and the catalogues I'm working with don't model "translation" as a first-class field — translator credits live in free-text author fields and are wil

   That question is one of the reasons I ended up building this the way I did, rather than collapsing translations into a single canonical record. The tradition your parent was in (translator working directly with a living author) produces som

   Thanks for the link; Translate Science is exactly the kind of gap-filling project that makes sense once you see how fragmented the bibliographic layer is. Sorry to hear about Victor; I'd seen the repos but hadn't known. Scientific

   Author here. The piece is about bibliographic infrastructure, but the finding that surprised me most while building the dataset was language-specific: Catalan/Valencian (~10M speakers) jumped from near-invisibility in commercial aggreg

   Thanks for trying it, and for the honest feedback on purchase links, you’re right. Right now they link to a search on each store rather than directly to the specific edition page. It’s a known limitation: matching an ISBN to a direct produc

   Yes! Both are excellent resources. Anna's Archive ISBN visualization is fascinating; it really shows how fragmented and incomplete the ISBN landscape is. We don't use their data directly (licensing concerns), but it confirmed what

   Thanks for the details — that's very helpful. Chrome 145 on Mac, got it. The fact that text doesn't fully change when switching languages confirms the hydration error is breaking React's event handling. I'm actively debu

    That's a React hydration mismatch. I'm aware of it but hadn't seen it block functionality before. Thanks for flagging that it does for you. Can I ask: when you load the page, do you see the language selector (a dropdown/

    Thanks for trying it! The localhost:8081 websocket isn't from Zenòdot, that's likely a browser extension (React DevTools, a proxy tool, or similar). Could you try in an incognito/private window with extensions disabled? The s
