Still Zotero says the "Item Type" is Book in spite of the error. The "# of Pages" (%P) and Translator (%Y) are missing from "Info" in Zotero. Only the last language (%G) and the last tag (%K) is shown.

I am quite new to Zotero so maybe someone can clarify for me what is going on or what i am doing wrong?

Kind regards

The import of this .enw file seems to work. Some fields are maybe not yet mapped and multiple values are probably not handled well for some fields. Therefore the Zotero translator could be improved, but this is not a general problem.

However, when you come from EndNote, then it is highly recommended to use the EndNote XML format for importing in Zotero. Cf. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_records_from_endnote

(The translator is now slightly improved.)
