Upgrade Storageerror when adding citation of multiple articles of same author in a same year
Hello, everybody
I'm using zotero to mange some journal articles, and among these there are some in Chinese. When adding Chinese citation of multiple articles written by the same author in a same year, like XXX 1992a and XXX 1992b, zotero produces "XXX 1992aundefinedb". Here we can see zotero added "undefined" between a and b. I guess this may be a bug. Has anyone encountered the same problem? I hope zotero developers could improve Asian language support. Thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
山田太郎1965a; 山田太郎1965bYou'll have to provide more detail. If you are doing this with a custom style, try switching to another style that uses author-date disambiguation and see if it happens there. Also please post the code of the style to http://gist.github.com. If you want us to test the style locally, please tell us exactly what is in the fields (Title, Author, etc) of the two entries that are producing the fault.(Edit: Ah, one more thing: are you using Zotero 2.0.9 or Zotero 2.1.1 for this?)

Groups 1 and 2 are both wrongly interpreted by zotero when adding into LibreOffice. They produce "(袁业立 1992aundefinedb)" and "(Wornom et al. 2002aundefinedb)", respectively. On the other hand, the 3rd group doesn't have this problem, it produce "(Moon et al. 2004a; Moon et al. 2004a; Moon et al. 2004c)" correctly.
I also tried using "Chicago Manual of Style (Author-date format)". This time all things goes fine, even Chinese citations are correctly processed.
Thus I guess it's probably the style's problem. As "American Meteorological Society" is a style contained in the "Zotero Style Repository", would you please make it more stable? In fact, this style is widely used in oceanography-meteorology field, and is among the very few styles this field currently have in the zotero style repository.
Additionally, please add more styles in the ocean-atmosphere discipline, which is a very large and active field. Famous journals in this field include Journal of Physical Oceanography (published by the American Meteorology Society), Journal of Geophysical Researches, Journal of Fluid Mechanism, and many more.
Here I would like to express my gratitude to you. Zotero is an excellent research tool, and I enjoy it so much. I'm happy to see you maintain this software so actively. Hope that zotero will become perfect in a short time.
Thank you!
I'll try out zotero multilingual some day. Thank you.
Separately, as you are handling Chinese citations, I can't resist a plug for the multilingual version of Zotero. It's a labor-of-love experiment, meant only for testing at this stage. That said, the code base relatively stable, and slouching toward eventual merger into Zotero main; any feedback from people with multilingual requirements would be very welcome at this stage.
I'll post here again when the American Meteorological Society style is working correctly with your test data.
