    (Translator issues are almost never related, so it's almost always better to start new threads. I've moved this to a new one.)

    That page is working for me. Try again, and if you're still having trouble reload the page and provide a Debug ID from the Zotero Connector for a save attempt that fails. If you're getting error across multiple sites, see Troubleshooting Translator Errors.

    @JedM: Splitting the thread didn't work properly the first time, so pinging you again to make sure you see this.

    Hi,
    I found the same error several times.
    I realized that the error appears only by using the Mac Zotero plug-ins (both with Firefox and Chrome).
    If I use the Windows Firefox plugin, I am able to import the citation.

    I also tried to bypass the problem by adding the problematic citation in Mendeley and then export to bib/rif file.
    But, always in Mac (Zotero 5.0.82), I have problems also when I try to import in Zotero the problematic references exported from Mendeley...

    Therefore, it could be a Mac-related error
