Primo 2018 translator "eats" dots and spaces in the Publisher field

Hello there!
I probably messed up with the last issue. Here is better explained and illustrated.
I noticed that when I want to use zotero-connector on the site of Russian National Library, it fails to respect dots in the Publisher field when exporting metadata to Zotero. This Library is one of the biggest in Russia and zotero uses 'Primo 2018' plugin for grabbing. Just test it with this entry: https://primo.nlr.ru/permalink/f/df0lai/07NLR_LMS001448566 (original publisher 'Библейско-Богословский институт **св. Апостола** Андрея' is grabbed by zotero as 'Библейско-Богословский институт **свАпостола** Андрея')
or this one: https://primo.nlr.ru/permalink/f/df0lai/07NLR_LMS005204170 ('С.В. Звонарев' is transformed to by zotero's translator 'СВЗвонарев').

Yes, this is explicitly coded into the import (https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Primo Normalized XML.js#L165 ), though I'm not sure why. All tests run just fine with the second part of the regex removed. cc @AbeJellinek

Odd! Thanks for reporting - I'll work on a fix.

Pushed a fix. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences. Please let me know if everything works now!

Thank you all for a quick help. Now the grabbing works as it should.
