Industrial Relations/Relations industrielles: COiNS translator is variable

dmaley
The COiNS translator is variable for downloading multiple articles of
the OA journal, Industrial Relations/Relations industrielle, available at Erudit. An example is Spring 1989,
http://www.erudit.org/revue/ri/1989/v44/n2/index.html
...where you get the "translator issues" message if you click to download. v. 42, no. 2 (1987)and v. 41, no. 2 (1986) are other examples. What is the reason for this?
Thanks, Desmond.

    It seems to be because of the way the ampersand in one of the titles (the article by Jean Sexton) is only HTML encoded. COinS processors assume that it is a field separator. This should be encoded using '%26'

    Looks like you're right, since I see the ampersand in other volumes that won't download. Is there anything that I can do?

    Other than asking them to fix it or using some other translator? Not that I can think of.

    added a ticket for a translator for the whole erudit.org site:
    https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/981
    Seems like that'd be very much worthwhile.

    Great! Thanks for your attention to this.

    The ticket is resolved: There is now an Erudit translator allowing scraping multiples as well as fixing some minor issues with the metadata of individual items.
