Original date + translation date

I want to enter a book that was originally published in German in 1901 and translated into English in 1971. I want to footnote the English translation, but indicate that the original German was published seventy years earlier. If I enter "original-date: 1901" in the Extra line, the footnote puts in parentheses "1901; repr., Cambridge: James Clarke, 1971." But the James Clarke publication isn't a reprint, it's a translation. Is there any way to get Zotero to indicate that it's a translation?

This is a bug in several styles. I've fixed it in forthcoming versions of Chicago:

And MHRA:

You can test the styles by going to the 'Files Changed' tab, finding the CSL file you need, selecting View File, then Download Raw File. I hope that these will be released within the next month or so, but one of the volunteer maintainers needs to review them first.
