Entry:

@book{Kill,
  author = "Kill, Bill",
  editor    = "Doe, John and Smith, Jane",
  translator = "Pumpernickel, William",
  title     = "Another Book Entry",
  address   = "London",
  year      = 2022,
}

Expected Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition reference according to its CSL:

Kill, Bill. Another Book Entry. Edited by John Doe and Jane Smith. Translated by William Pumpernickel. London, 2022.

Obtained:

Kill, Another Book Entry. Edited by Doe, John and Smith, Jane, Translated by Pumpernickel, William. London: 2022.

There are a number of issues here (notably on the author), but the one I am reporting here is the following: editors and translators are the direct raw bibtex entry as text, not parsed as a name list (split for reordering depending on the citation/reference style).

There's another catch (also on the author field): BibLaTeX v3.20 §2.3.3 provides a rule for "corporate names", nested in their own braces to avoid being parsed as personal names.

E.g. editor = {{National Aeronautics and Space Administration} and Doe, John}

Since it also affects authors, maybe it deserve its own issue.
