Importing RIS returns a 'Could not save item' error

nikos
Importing any new item in my library fails and returns a 'could not save item'.

It seems that it's unable to find the RIS translator.

[JavaScript Error: "Invalid or missing translator metadata JSON object in RIS.js" {file: "file:///home/nikos/.mozilla/firefox/jgmnxnth.default/zotero/translators/RIS.js" line: 0}]

I am running 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) with the updated Zotero 2.0.9 on Firefox 3.6.13. This worked fine since about 3-4 days ago. Re-installing zotero did not fix it.

Can anyone else reproduce the problem or has had a similar issue?

    Try resetting translators in the Zotero preferences.

    And that shouldn't happen unless your 'translators' directory got corrupted somehow.

    Fantastic, thanks a lot guys!
    Resetting the translators (Preferences -> Advanced -> Reset translators and styles) fixed it!
