Pubmed issues with journal abbreviations
Hey,
Just a quick comment (and also request at the same time): when I save citations going through Pubmed, ALL the journal abbreviations are missing a dot at the end of each word (where there should be one). Example: I save an article from Journal of the American Chemical Society: I get "J Am Chem Soc" as an abbreviation when I use that citation (everything else is good). If I save the citation for the exact same article by accessing through the American Chemical Society website, then I get it abbreviated "J. Am. Chem. Soc." (as it should be). And it is the same for EVERY journal abbreviation saved via PubMed
I don't know if other people have had that problem, or even noticed it because it is quite subtle, but still makes citations incorrect... And it kinda sucks because getting references from PubMed is really practical...
Anyway, Thanks a lot to you guys who are putting so much effort to get things rolling smoothly, keep up the great work it's greatly appreciated!

Maybe if the translator got both of the XML fields with different names (as some journals want abbreviation without dots) and then only the desired one would be formated in csl.
It might be though that you haven't yet obtained the updated translator:
