Translator Issue

I keep receiving the notice that "an error occurred while saving this item. Check Troubleshooting Translator Issues".

I just got a new computer and have the latest version of firefox with the add-on and zotero standalone installed.

I tried all steps posted on the toubleshooting, but did not have any luck solving the problem

Thanks in advance for any help!!

This is the debug output log:

  • we'd need the URL you're trying to save from, too.
  • Have the same problem with all sites (I use Zotero for years)

  • Tried Opera/Chrome with lastest Zotero Standalone. Zotero connectors are authorized.
  • Raport ID:2048002335
  • This looks like a regression from the last refacturing of the metadata RDF translator. I will look into this...
  • Okay, this should be fixed again. The translator will update automatically, or you can update your translator now. Please let us know if you encounter any further errors.
  • Unfortunately problems still exist. I updated translator manually then I restarted program, but I can't add any page
  • if you're using Chrome or Safari, try also restarting your browser.
  • I restarted Chrome but without any results.
  • It's works..
    I killed all chrome processes (in settings I got that I allowed chrome to be run in background after closing browser).
    Now it works perfectly.
    Thanks for your help and time!!
  • Works fine now. Many thanks to the admin :-)
  • Wow- thank you! I just did the update and it has been fixed for me as well. Really appreciate the prompt response/solution!
