OpticsInfoBase is not translated at all

myurkin · October 5, 2008

OpticsInfoBase has recently changed its format. Moreover, now all links to pages of individual journals are redirected to this base. Zotero tries to use "Optical Society of America" translator, but it fails completely (produces no results after some activity). The example link is:

I agree, does not work at all.
Used to work great with the earlier version of Optics Info Base. I tried to understand the translator, but it is a bit more dense than the BibTeX one that I tweaked with. I someone can give me some hints, I might try to adapt it, as I really would need the OpticsInfoBase functionality.

schwitters, could you find any solution for it?
or anyone else with a good idea?

cheers

A new version of the Optical Society of America translator is now available, thanks to a patch from forums user billi. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.
