Translator issue: Reuters

pjalet · March 9, 2011

Hi,

The translator for Reuters' website (www.reuters.com) doesn't work. A page where the translator icon is shown but where the item cannot be saved is: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/03/us-food-fao-index-idUSTRE72223C20110303
The error ID is: 365550420
My configuration is: Zotero 2.1rc1 in Firefox 3.6.13 (Windows).

The Reuters translator hadn't been touched in years, but I revived it.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Reuters.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

It still doesn't do multiple saves, search results, etc, but neither did the old one.

Thanks a lot.
I have tried this new version on a few pages, and so far it works perfectly well.

The rewritten translator should be in the next release of Zotero. In the meantime, interested Reuters users should install from Github, as described above.
