Chrome error missing translator ID

Tulip19
Hi, my chrome extension (used with Zotero standalone) does not appear to be working. There's no icon in the address bar and I saw a message 'missing translator ID' in the 'Report' section. Based on a previous post I reset the the translator, but now it gives a huge long error message as posted here below.
Can anyone help figure out how to get this working?

Much obliged,

Nicole

    Your Chrome or system proxy settings are incorrect. It's sending requests to 127.0.0.1—that is, the system itself—to your network proxy server. That should never be the case. Look for a place in your proxy settings to blacklist certain hosts from the proxy, and make sure "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" are listed.

    I'm afraid i'm on the college network and I have no access to any to those settings. I suppose there's nothing else I can do to fix it?
  • dstillman
    As in, this is a university computer? The proxy settings I'm referring to would be on the computer you're using, so if it's your computer you would be able to change them. (Even if they were being autoconfigured by the network, you could still override them with manual settings if you found out what those should be.)

    But if this is a university computer you should talk to your IT department. localhost and 127.0.0.1 should never be proxied, and doing so could easily cause problems with other software as well.

    The same issue has been resolved at our university by going to the network property and enabling the option : "Bypass proxy server for local addresses".


    Hope it helps.
