Report ID 1523179255 -- Error Importing Juris-M Library

gruba523
Hi team,

Because it appears that the Juris-M for Word add-on was killed by the most recent Windows update, I tried to import my Juris-M library into Zotero, but it only imported 16 of my Juris-M sources and indicated that there was an error. I reported the error and the Report ID is 1523179255. I also tried to drag-and-drop sources from the Juris-M to Zotero desktop apps without success. Any thoughts?

    Tried to import how?

    In the Zotero Windows desktop app, File => Import... => A file (BibTeX, RIS, Zotero RDF, etc.) and selected an RDF file that I had already saved by using the Export Library function in the Juris-M desktop app. I did not change the preselected options: "Place imported collections and items into new collection" and, under File Handling, "Copy files to the Zotero storage folder." I clicked on Next and got the following message: "An error occurred importing the selected file with "RDF". Please ensure that the file is valid and try again." When I then click on Finish, there are only 16 of my 77 Juris-M sources in Zotero. They appear to be the same 16 that were previously in Zotero when I last used it a few months ago before I switched to Juris-M. Retried a few times without success.

    If you email the RDF file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, we can take a look, but an export from Jurism — which is based on a very old version of Zotero — might be broken in ways that can't be fixed.

    Understood and will do. Thanks for the help.
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    The RDF file contains 'treaty' item types that Zotero doesn't know about, and those cause the import to fail. We've added a fix to import those as Document with "Type: treaty" in Extra. Your Zotero should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

    Great -- it's working now. Many thanks for the assistance!

    Hi! Given the loss of Juris-M functionality with word I am trying to work out similar solutions for a very large database of non-legal and legal sources, many of which are multi-lingual. My tests indicate that the non-english fields in Juris-M do not import at all. I have tried the new cite-not-english plugin, but it appears that all data would need to be manually re-entered. Is it possible that the cite-non-english fields can be set to align to the Juris-M alternative language fields, or are the systems so different that this is not possible?
    (Apologies - I found the cite-non-english discussion and posted more appropriately there; it is not letting me delete here)
