I have a question about the data directory located for me in C:\Users\\Zotero\. I would like to import my own translator but when I put the file in the translators directory the file is automaticaly deleted when I start Zotero. I follow the documentation : https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators but the automatic update process is not mentioned. Where could I put my own translator to use it in Zotero ? Thank you for your answer.
To be precise I download the translator Bib2Hal_git.js from https://github.com/CCSDForge/HAL/tree/master/scriptImport So I used Scaffold to generate a new id and replace it in Bib2Hal.js. Same result. Now I'm sure that The problem come from the js file. Thank you @dstillman
I'm pretty sure the problem is still the ID and you did something wrong in replacing it. The ID on that translator is the one of the built-in BibTeX translator, so that was definitely the problem initially.
Thanks @adamsmith Before read your post I resolved the problem by copy-paste code and metadata in Scaffold. It gives me another new ID. Thank you for your help.

We recommend writing translators in Scaffold, which among other things will generate a new id for you.
So I used Scaffold to generate a new id and replace it in Bib2Hal.js.
Same result.
