Zotero recognition of Hungarian databases

Hungary has a significant research output, yet according to my experience, when I try to save citations from the largest Hungarian databases, it does not recognize the source (embedded metadata I guess), and does not automatically fill the fields out properly as it does with e.g. Jstor and others. It would be great if Zotero would support recognition of the few major national databases, as they are only a handful, it wouldn't be much of a hassle, but it would cover most of the Hungarian access. These databases are:
Matarka, MTMT, Magyar Országos Közös Katalógus (Mokka) és a Magyar Elektronikus Könyvtár (MEK). Is it that these site have no COinS metadata, or is it something else? As I am not on expert I do not know.

If these would be supported, then Hungarian researchers would eternally grateful, if this is indeed a problem Zotero could solve, and if it is not up to the embedded metadata quality/type/etc.
  • None of these sites that I looked at have great metadata that Zotero could import, even with a dedicated custom script. Someone very motivated and with good javascript skills could probably make this happen, but it'd always be fragile and a bit unsatisfactory, so I definitely won't. (Also, of course, harder to do if you don't speak the language, though google translate does help).
