Diacritical marks

Just bumping this request up.

The URL for Salish's troublesome item is:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VN7-4G5BJWN-2&_user=10&_coverDate=06/30/2005&_alid=836310965&_rdoc=5&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_cdi=6171&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_ct=9&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=8e6fcf86a1dce6e4b08a26e9f68ca01e

(That monster should work despite the userid, etc).

Oddly, I can't even import it. When I try, I get a "Could Not Save Item" error.
Nor can I import anything else from ScienceDirect at the moment.

The ScienceDirect translator is currently being fixed, and the charset issues will be fixed as well. The new version will be out shortly.

Many thanks.

I would like the Zotero staff to know that we recognize that the popularity of this project has meant a lot of time answering user questions and solving anomalies such as this. Your user community appreciates your efforts greatly.

Seconded! The Zotero people are doing a great job.

I use zotero 1.0.9, FF3 and linux (locale de_DE.utf-8). I can import http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v62/i2/p1186_1 and the author's name is correctly displayed as Bułka in zotero. However, if I export my bibliography to bibtex, the file I obtain has Bu?ka as author. Similar problems occur e.g. with http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v68/i12/e125320 where ß and ö get messed up. Strangely it seems that in other pages, ö and other umlaute work fine.

Any ideas?

bjoerns: An updated BibTeX translator that fixes this will be pushed to clients within a couple days. I'll post an update when it's live.

dstillman · January 12, 2009

The updated BibTeX translator that fixes Unicode export in 1.0.9 is now available (for Firefox 3 users only). Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.

EDIT - Ok turns out I was doing something wrong.

Closing this thread, which is very old and no longer relevant. Current issues with diacritics are almost always site-specific and should be reported in separate threads.
