Endnote import:no translator could be found for the given file
I just installed zotero. Seems OK.
I am trying to import from Endnote 6. I set the export filter to Refman and then exported to a file. I tried to import and got the error message:
"no translator could be found for the given file"
The exported file from Endnote is at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/37272452/EndnoteLib.ris.html
(Sorry for the hassles with Rapidshare. It's the best I could do on a short notice)
I also pasted the file at the end of this post.
Any help or suggestions welcomed.

However I can't import my library into Zotero.
When I try to import setting the type of file to EndNote in Zotero I got "no translator could be found for the given file".
The possible export options in EndNote are: *.txt, *.rtf, *.htm, *.xml.
I tried all types and always got: "no translator could be found for the given file".
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Pawel
You must properly select the RIS export style & should double-check that the resulting file is actually a (plain txt) RIS file.

Note added later: I re-exported the same info from Bookends in BibTex format, which created a ".bib" file, and was able to import with no problem. What's with the RIS problem?
I have just imported a 3000 record reference from Endnote into Zotero. You will find it interesting to learn that although the job was done, a large number (1124) were parsed incorrectly. I am happy to supply a copy of files if you would like to check this
I've only started examining Zotero today. I find the concept impressive but also a few snags that complicate my life. I'll look at the fora list to try and flag these up in the right places. I've been wanting to dump word and others for so long and the final reason I dont do so is Endnote, which has my doctoral dissertation database.

Also, German Umlaute didn't convert at all.
Nevertheless, I think that Zotero will save me a lot of time over the long-term, so I'm willing to put up with this.
Only the field "label" couldn't be imported - thats were i noted in endnote in which library I found the book. It would be great, if all fields that do not match a field in zotero could be put into the "extra" field or if there would be a list of fields to change corespondences.
Now I face a second problem: I have already written about 120 pages of my dissertation in word 2000/endnote6 combination. Is there or will there be in the near future a way to transform a word document with endnote references/citations into a word (or even better openoffice - I only sticked to word for the endnote integration) document with zotero references? Otherwise it will be hard work to change all references/citations manually.
The standard RIS format is set to only do initials of authors' first names - you need to edit the style in Endnote before exporting so it exports the full name. Go to edit --> output styles --> refman --> bibliography --> author name --> Initials Full Name
