Upgrade StorageIndian Journal of Law and Legal Research : translator possible?
The metadata for this journal is spread across several web pages and building a Zotero translator may be all but impossible.
The problem is that it is common to see articles from this journal cited in social science journals published in the USA and Europe. The authors must be entering the citation metadata by hand.
To gather all relevant metadata for articles in this journal is necessary to copy the page range from one page, the abstract from another page, and download the pdf file from still another page; import the PDF into Zotero, and then paste the page range and abstract to the record. The journal's ISSN isn't available with any of its metadata so that must be also pasted into the Zotero record.

The webpage headers are astoundingly busy with all manner of CSS and scripts.

1. The translator might not be very robust; the CSS classes have very opaque identifiers and the website owners could easily change the DOM structure without warning and break the translator.
2. Some content would need extra logic to structure it properly: for example, each author's title+full name+affiliation seems to be just one character string, not sure how reliably this could be parsed.
So... maybe?
