Pretty sure this doesn't have anything to do with Win10; we'd have more reports of this new failure.
Are you in mainland China? Could this somehow be affected by a block on some google functionality?
yes, I use a Host file to get access to Google Scholar.
However, both of my two computers using the same Host file and in the same network environment.
I don't know how to figure out the problem.
I'm sorry, but if you have -- for whatever reason -- a google scholar page that's not fully functional (i.e. doesn't display metadata), I don't think there's anything we can do on the Zotero side.
Thank you!
I've known the reason. It's IPV6, my PC can access to IPV6 while my Surface can't.
IPV6 helps get the BibTex and other cite formation code. IPV4 have been blocked.
Works for me. Could you confirm your Zotero version and your set-up? If you submit an error report and look at it, could you copy the error message referring to google scholar and paste it here? It'd be similar to [JavaScript Error: "BibTeX not found." {file: "eval at eval (chrome-extension://ekhagklcjbdpajgpjgmbionohlpdbjgc/inject/translate_inject.js:50:4), <anonymous>" line: 566}]
For some reason you're on the old translator still.
Do you have Standalone running when you try this? Have you clicked "Update Now" in the general tab of the preferences?
What version of Standalone (not the Chrome connector) are you running (check under about Zotero)?
Could you find your Zotero data folder
https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#locating_your_zotero_library
in it, open the folder "Translators", and finded the file "Google Scholar.js" (may just appear as "Google Scholar"). Open the file using a text editor (TextEdit, Notepad), copy the first 13 lines (starting and ending with curly brackets) and paste them here.
Then also provide a debug ID for the process of clicking "Update Now" (i.e. enable debug, click update now, wait until it says up to date, then send debug).

that's really odd -- did you ever try editing translators in Zotero?
In any case, try resetting translators from the advanced tab of the Zotero preferences, then update them again.
Restart both Chrome and Zotero and try again. See if that helps.
If it doesn't, manually download the Google Scholar file from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zotero/translators/master/Google%20Scholar.js
and replace the one in your translators folder with it. No need to update translators after that, but you will need to restart Zotero & Chrome.
It seems that the translator now works for general google scholar searches, but when I try to download citations that I've saved within a google scholar library I'm still getting a translator error. Any idea why this might be happening?
why is the update date of EFH's version later than that on github?
The timestamp on GitHub is only used to trigger a push. The actual time pushed to clients is the current time rounded to the nearest five minutes (or something like that).
A translator fix for the remaining issue -- the saved lists -- is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences. If you're using Standalone, restart Zotero and your browser after updating.
Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting
Upgrade Storage
my another pc are in the same internet environment, i don't know what happened to my Surface, will it be that I have updated to latest Win10?

It doesn't matter what I search in Google Scholar, none of the pages allow Zotero to save the citations on that page.
But an example URL:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=cobia&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C19&as_sdtp=

Using google chrome
Error message:

Hello, I have probelms to collect multiple saved sources from google scholar with the firefox extension to zotero stand alone.
I also tried it with the chrome browser and the extension.
All extensions, firefox and zotero is updated to the latest version.
Kind Regards
