Search by translator? Search for translator?

Is there a way to search for all the translations by a certain translator?

Good point, but I’m afraid the answer is, no not so far as I know. We are working on a new system which will allow us have multiple translators for each sutta and to filter by translator.

Just wondering if this happened? I can’t work out how to do it.

It would be lovely to have a translators page, showing what each translator has done and maybe a little biography?

So my use case is that an author might want to include a reference in a paper or book along the lines of:

Brahmāli, Bhikkhu (tr.) — Translations of the Theravāda Vinayapiṭaka. SuttaCentral.

And I would want to link to a sensible page at suttacentral.

It’s quite easily done using the alternative google powered site search. This comes in multiple flavors!

One only needs to use the translator’s name as one of the search fields.

Thank you so much. That’s great!

Use the key author:foo and you’re good to go.

All translations by Brahmali:

author:brahmali

All translations by Brahmali containing the word cat:

author:brahmali cat

List all authors

list authors

Find these keys and more via the “filter” menu on any search results page.
