Problem with IEEE Xplore
I'm running Zotero 2.0rc2 on Firefox 3.6 and Windows 7. When I try to grab papers from IEEE Xplore I get an error message. Abbreviated log follows:

I have a problem with IEEE Explore too, which started with rc2.
For example:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org.proxy.libraries.rutgers.edu/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4914870&isnumber=5307285&tag=1
gives me the could not save error.

Cannot use IEEEXplore, which is where 99% of the papers I have to view are.
I have the same IEEExplore-problem with firefox 3.6 and zotero 2.0rc5 (but not with firefox 3.5.7).

Thanks
Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.6, I have Zotero latest version installed.
Report ID -1096240324-

The error is ''Could not save item. Known Translator Issues".
Thanks.
Since IEEE has relaunched the website the translator does not work anymore and probably needs an update. Error message while trying to add a paper to the Zotero database is something like "article coul'd not be saved. ... Contact author of translator".
Anyone knows the author(s) of the IEEE translator?
Thanks.
Clicked download citation, chose BibTeX. This put the citation in the clipboard.
Then opened Zotero half-screen, choose download citation from clipboard.
Works for the time being...
1.- Got IEEE Xplore and search your paper.
2.- Click download citation.
3.- In the box: Choose EndNote, ProCite, ...
4.- In the box: Click Download Citation.
You can check the citation in the Zotero half-screen showed in Firefox.
Does anybody know when a fix should be releassed?
Thanks!
"IEEE Xplore
Broken after a site update. A new version should be available shortly".
But the ticket is more than 2 months old.....
I fear the solution is more difficult than anticipated :*(
Quick solution to exchange the translator:
1. download IEEExplore translator
[incorrect installation instructions removed — D.S.]
Hope that might be helpful for someone.
(And there's no need to touch translators.zip. Updated translators can be placed right into the 'translators' directory in the Zotero data directory, replacing the existing file (which in this case has a different filename from yours))
Stillman: When I replace the "IEEE Xplore.js" in the translator directory it will be overwritten with the version in the translator.zip when I restart Firefox (AFAIK).
Any solution for the IEEE problem with zotero, as koening solution still not working.
