Latest translators update is not retro-compatible
We are using a customized and very old version of an old Zotero code to scrap metadata from sites and import it into our system and it started breaking when using translators from around June 17.
We believe the PR involved in the issue is the following one since most of the issue happen when using Embedded Metadata and RDF translators and the date matches: https://github.com/zotero/translators/commit/d6e958359d8888b93fb726c7fdb4987446ff865d
Before this change we are able to extract metadata from some sites without issues. After this change something happens when using the translator and we are not able to complete the process giving a translation error to the user.
Our code that uses Zotero as a base: https://github.com/proquest/PME
We are aware that our application is outdated but it was working without any issues until that moment. The original developers on our side are gone and as far a we know this code was taken from around 2015. (A little behind version 4.0 of Zotero)
From our side, we are working on parching the code so when it breaks the flow continues to work saying that no data was extracted. But we wanted to bring up this issue as it could have broken other side apps by accident.
And as mentioned we no longer are able to extract the metadata in those cases. And the only changes detected were made on the translators repository.
