Keep getting an error trying to add references
I'm on a Mac with the latest MacOS (Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)). When I now try to add documents from Chrome with the Zotero Connector I keep getting strange problems. At first nothing happens, then if I try again it will import the first page. Then I go to another page and it start to import, but then gives an error recording the document about 2/3 of the way down the list. It says to consult the converters page (the message is in French on my computer, as I am a French speaker).
I tried removing all the extensions, like Better Bib text and others, then I tried deleting and re-installing Zotero and the Chrome connector, a few times. I tried all the other proposed resolutions online, but still, I keep getting the problem.
Any ideas what I can do ? I really need to get this working as I use it extensively in my research activities and for systematic reviews I'm working on!
Thank you

Here is one of the URLs that isn't working but I tried several different ones at at least 2 universities where I have accounts : https://concordiauniversity.on.worldcat.org/search?queryString=(%22Cybersecurity%22%20OR%20%22Computer%20security%22%20OR%20%22Information%20security%22)%20AND%20%22risk%20management%22&clusterResults=true&groupVariantRecords=false&expandSearch=false&translateSearch=false&sortKey=BEST_MATCH&scope=wz:15304&subformat=Artchap::artchap_artcl&content=peerReviewed&year=2018..2022&databaseList=283,638
There is no debug ID
There error message is: Une erreur s’est produite lors de l’enregistrement de ce document. Consultez Résoudre les problèmes de convertisseur pour davantage de précisions.
I am accessing this in Chrome with the Zotero Chrome connector.
I removed all the Zotero add-ons or extensions, reinstalled Zotero (removed, rebooted, reinstalled) and the Chrome extensions
It used to work in the past but this was a few months ago and I have since upgraded MacOS to the latest version

Also, the name of the translator -- see step 10 of the troubleshooting guide and more precisely what you're doing on the page you linked to above -- i.e. are you just clicking on the Save to Zotero icon (if so, is it a folder or some other icon?) or do you actually get to select items from a list first (if so, which ones do you select)?
"Go back to the Advanced tab of the Zotero Connector preferences and click Submit Output."
And the other is https://www.polymtl.ca/biblio/ but is actually linking to https://polymtl.on.worldcat.org/
SO it would appear that both schools are using Worldcat.org, perhaps as a cloud solution for the libraries
As I'm working with a systematic review protocol, I download multiple results to Zotero from 2 different libraries and from Google Scholar. Google Scholar seems to work fine.
