Can't import from SpringerLink

http://www.springerlink.com/content/e7u87826375lu431/ doesn't work for me :-( It's Zotero 2.0.3.

    that's the DOI translator failing - apparently there is not currently a working Springerlink translator, Zotero tries to work with the DOI on the page and that lookup fails - either because crossref is down or - more likely - because the DOI isn't (yet) registered with CrossRef or is wrong.

    It worked until about a week ago. Since then Springerlink changed the page design. Prob. the translator needs to be adjusted.
    Would be happy if someone could do this since I am using it a lot.

    I'm also getting general failure at springerlink (example: http://www.springerlink.com/content/w2835870814813v5/), suggests translator problem

    I just got an answer from the SpringerLink support team. They are working on a citation export function. So soon you will find a button to click on exporting all BibTeX information. You can import this in Zotero afterwards. That will be a work-around.

    I'm still having problems with SpringerLink.

    My guess is that this is trying to fire on DOI:
    http://www.springerlink.com/content/k7084020x5791357/
    since 'add by DOI' also fails for
    10.1007/978-3-642-15515-4_23
    even though http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-15515-4_23 resolves.

    'export to BibTeX, then import' doesn't really fix my use case: one of the reasons I use Zotero is that I can get the bibliographic info AND the PDF in one click.

    Anybody got time to fix the translator?

    No need to guess. Hover over the address bar icon.

    But yes, it's using the DOI translator.
