Embedded Metadata translator in Citoid

Does anyone know what is blocking Zotero's EM from being used in Citoid? Can you point me to the relevant discussions? I have a enwp talk page request to make a translator for HighBeam (a database that is frequently used on enwp) but EM already handles HighBeam nicely if Citoid will support it. (Also see GitHub thread.)

Thanks—I didn't know about that exchange. I know this thread is in a few different places now, but it looks like dstillman refreshed translation-server (as announced) to update from the 2013 to the 2016 version of Zotero. Has Citoid pulled those updates? That might resolve the EM issue, but if it doesn't and it would help, I can open a ticket

Thanks for following up on this! I didn't think updating would work (since translation-server has very specific behaviour for no translators being available), so I just checked right now with the updated version and sadly it doesn't work. It's something that will have to be fixed in translation-server so I opened up a ticket there: https://github.com/zotero/translation-server/issues/31
