Import EndNote library HELP!!
Hello,
I've followed exactly what the tutorial says about importing a library from endnote: "In EndNote, select “Output Styles” from the Edit menu. From the list of output styles select BibTeX. Once BibTeX is set as the format, select “Export” from the File menu. In the Export window that pops up, choose “Text Only” and hit “Save.” After exporting from EndNote, click on the gear icon above the left column in your Zotero pane and select “Import” from the pull-down menu. In the file system window that pops up, locate the BibTeX file you exported from EndNote and select “Open.” This should import your references into Zotero.
However, when I try to import the .txt file from Zotero I get a message (in spanish: No se ha encontrado traductor para el archivo dado) stating that the translator for the given file hasn't been found... and nothing else happens. I've tried to import 3 different libraries with the same results.
In case it helps I'm pasting part of the .txt file...
Thanks
Beto

TjowensIn most cases this comes from one or two broken records in the file. Try breaking them in half or into quarters and importing the smaller chunks. You can usually use this method to identify the one or two problem records. You might also try using RIS instead of BibTeX and see if that works better with your specific set of items.
