Extracts metadata from IIIF manifests and embeds archival images as base64 in notes (workaround for IIIF server requiring custom headers).
- Extract current page number from Mirador viewer navigation element - Populate numPages field from IIIF canvas count - Use DOM page number for canvas selection with URL fallback - Add debug logging for manifest metadata fields
Title format: "1850 - Nati - Archivio di Stato di Lecce > ..." - Use "Titolo" field for year (not "Datazione" which has date range) - Add "Datazione" to date field handling - Add debug logging for title construction
- Remove excessive debug logging, keep only key error cases - Show pages as "X of Y" format (e.g., "8 of 126") - Minor code style cleanups
- Place || operators at beginning of lines - Remove redundant radix parameter from parseInt - Remove unnecessary quotes from object property names - Remove unnecessary escape characters in regex - Add parentheses around arrow function argument
Change IIIF image request from 800px to 2000px max dimension for better readability of archival documents. Uses !2000,2000 syntax which works with the server (unlike /full/full/ or /max/).
If 2000px image request fails with 403, automatically retry with 1200px. This helps handle AWS WAF restrictions on some images.

Summary
New translator for Portale Antenati (antenati.cultura.gov.it), the Italian State Archives portal for genealogical research. This site provides access to digitized civil registry records (births, marriages, deaths) from Italian archives.
Features
Extracts metadata from IIIF manifests including:
- Title (constructed as "Year - Type - Archive path", e.g., "1850 - Nati - Archivio di Stato di Lecce > Stato civile della restaurazione > Casamassella")
- Date range
- Archive location
- Document type (Nati, Morti, Matrimoni, etc.)
- Total page count
- Current page number (from Mirador viewer)
Embeds the currently viewed archival image as a base64-encoded note (workaround for IIIF server requiring custom headers that prevent direct attachment linking)
Includes fallback scraping when IIIF manifest is unavailable
