The translator for SpringerLink works abnormal about translators HOT 9 OPEN

I can't reproduce the problem, I have tried a couple of articles and chapters, everything looks OK for me. Can you provide an example URL where you experience this behavior?

Have you tested the book?

And that's when you do it with DOI.

Thanks for the details. I had not tested a book, indeed for https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-43881-4 the captured metadata is rather poor. The document type, title and abstract are retrieved from embedded metadata, but apparently nothing else.
With this information, I think we can start to investigate.

Thanks for your attention, in my perspective, that problem happened probably because SpringerLink had updated their website recently and that movement caused this situation. In the older version of their website, everything works perfectly.

The browser connector seems to be ignoring the Springer Link translator completely for this ebook. The same thing happens for the ebook test cases from the translator code, although these tests are working as expected within the translator editor.
For ebooks, the translator is supposed to return multiple results, I'm guessing the book itself and each chapter, I don't know if that plays a role in this. I'm still looking into this issue, but if anybody with a deeper knowledge wants to offer their advice, it'll be great.

Yeah, previously when you clicked the connector button it would pop up a window and let you select what items you want to add, a whole book or some chapters, and the first one always be the whole book for the common book, for reference work, they don't have a whole book option though.

The problem was also reported on the Zotero forum: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/113759/springerlink-changed-connectors-dont-work-any-more#latest

(And for future reference, there's no need to discuss icons/metadata/etc. for a case like this: you can just hover over the save icon and see that it's using the Embedded Metadata translator rather than the Springer Link translator for the new design.)
