Upgrade StorageWeird Pubmed translator quirk
I just had trouble recording the reference to this :
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26075234
I can record it with the "Embedded Metadata" translator, but trying to record it with the "Pubmed" translator fails mysteriously (nothing specific in the error box).
IIRC, that's the first problem I ever had with the Pubmed translator.
Any hint ?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
The PubMed API that Zotero uses is less reliable than one would hope. When it's down, you get exactly what you're seeing.
It might be interesting to intercept this case and mention this in the error message box ; something like "this can be caused by transient source conditions on some translators ; please try again in a few moments".
What do you think ?
