You can check to see if a site you'd like Zotero to support has already been requested here: http://www.zotero.org/translators-status/
(Requests made in the earlier discussion are almost completely migrated into this list)

If you'd like to request a translator,
1) make sure you have a new request by checking the Translators Status page
2) give Zotero a try (because of the way translators work, Zotero can work on many sites that aren't listed)
3) then give us only the name of the site *and* its URL

If you have any other translator issues, please post them separately in our translators forum.

ACS doi lookups would be very handy for a translator (especially older articles that don't have an html abstract for Zotero to look at)
for example a recent search of mine:
http://pubs3.acs.org/acs/journals/doilookup?in_doi=10.1021/jo00432a026

Also, the "folder" button that I used to be able to click on journal contents pages to add entries from a list of article titles is no longer showing up for ACS pubs
for example:
http://pubs3.acs.org/acs/journals/toc.page?incoden=joceah&indecade=1&involume=63&inissue=23

Hi mrnlegato,
Thanks for the input. Could you post the 2nd part of your message to the troubleshooting (http://forums.zotero.org/3/) or translators (http://forums.zotero.org/6/) forum? I just checked, and it worked for me, so it may need some debugging...
Thanks!

I actually made a change that should have fixed that issue with ACS Pubs last week. I forgot to post about it here. Sorry.

@mrnlegato Make sure you've updated to the latest translators (via the Zotero preferences pane) and try again. Let us know if problems continue.

I would like Zotero to support
* HeiKIP (Heidelberger Katalog- und Informationsportal)
* URL: http://portal03.bsz-bw.de:8090/ .
It's very handy tool and is used by people living in Heidelberg for simultaneous searches in different libraries in region. It's much better than HEIDI katalog.ub.uni-heidelberg.de and
BTW. using HEIDI with Zotero isn't very useful - it recognizes only the name of the author and title. The rest you have to put into Zotero by hand.

I'd like to see support for the My Library listings in Google Books. (Sorry if this has already been requested.) In Firefox 2.0.0.14 using Zotero 1.0.4 and Mac OSX 10.4.11 I do not see the folder icon (only an RSS feed icon) in the location bar when browsing saved libraries in Google Books.

Thanks.

Hello,

Would it be possible to add Cairn? http://www.cairn.info

This site gathers 156 French academic journals in the social sciences. Several journals, like Actes de La Recherche en Sciences Sociales, Revue Francaise de Science Politique or Revue Francaise de Sociologie store their archives freely on Persee -- for which a translator was added some time ago -- and recent issues on Cairn on a paying basis.

Thanks a lot in advance.
- CommentAuthorAcrymble
- CommentTimeJul 23rd 2008
Catherine, Cairn appears to require membership to view. Are you in a position to grant access to the site so that I can write a translator?
- CommentAuthorCatherine
- CommentTimeJul 23rd 2008
Hi Acrymble,

Thanks for you answer. Cairn allows you to freely view references, perform searches, etc. You only need a paying access in order to download PDFs.

Do you still need a paying access to the site?

Thank you very much.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you Acrymble, I rechecked Informaworld just to make sure if it loaded properly and then to see if it would work with folders, and it doesn't so maybe it could be another subsite of Informaworld which works slightly differently.
The full website address from my university login is: http://www.informaworld.com.simsrad.net.ocs.mq.edu.au/smpp/search~db=all~searchmode=advanced?newsearch=true
if you want to investigate.
Thank you.

One thing I don't understand is why zotero use to work perfectly on pretty much all the sites I listed in my first comment on this page (I think this was before it got to version 1.0) but now it doesn't detect most sites or fails to gather the information (ie you click add to zotero and it pops up a white box then does nothing). Do you know if you can revert it back to pre 1.0 translation/detection?

@Acrymble -- South African National Archives Translator

Thank you for picking this up. Will the translator install itself automatically, or do I need to do that manually? I've many questions but I'll wait a little to see how the translator works.

If I can assist in any way with this, please do contact me at breckenr AT ukzn DOT ac DOT za.

It would be very useful to refer other people who might want to use Zotero and the National Archives to a specific thread. Can you copy / move these posts to a new thread?

Thanks, again -- this is really a very important development for archives, historians and other social scientists in South Africa.

This site does require a membership log-in. However, citations can be listed on the site in full Chicago style, so I'm hoping that a translator would not be difficult to construct.

If this is possible, thanks!

POPLINE is maintained by the INFO Project at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs and is funded by the United States Agency for International Development.

Though it doesn't seem to embed any microformats into its pages, which sucks...screenscraping, I suppose?

To those who requested Gale, Expanded Academics, it seems to work for me. The trick is finding how.When you get to the article you are looking for, there is a little box to the right that says "Tools". Click on citation tools. A new window will open that says generate a citation. There is an option "Export to third party software", which lists Endnote, etc., click on the one called "Reference Manager" and Zotero will save the reference.

Hi,

I'd like to have a translator for the library of Sciences Po Paris : http://catalogue-distant.sciences-po.fr/. It's an OPAC, so I guess it shouldn't be too tricky.
It's the biggest social sciences library in France.
