I'm getting a "Could not save item" trying to save details of a movie (I've tried several), from IMDb, using that site's translator.

This is with an up-to-date Zotero and Firefox 54, which was only released yesterday.

Zotero is working, for me, using other sites' translators.

    yeah, we need to add a known issue for that and/or disactivate the translator.
    The (inofficial) imdb API we were using has gone private/for pay so that's out for Zotero. I've not been successful identifying viable alternatives so far.

    Scraping from the page using some metadata should work (they also have some nested schema.org data). I will try to come up with something.

    IMDb is now working again thanks to @zuphilip

    Nice work @zuphilip - thank you.
