• Thank you Frank! It works much better now: almost everything gets imported. The only thing that didn't get imported for me this time was the English translations of the Farsi titles. But this is definitely more workable this way. I've made a gist…

• Okay, so I got the translator updated (it showed the "updated" status this time), restarted MLZ/Firefox, and now when I do RDF import it gives this error: [JavaScript Error: "type.substr is not a function" {file: "/home/anna/.mozilla/firefox/z6y09z…

• Frank, Unfortunately, the problem persists, with the same fields (publication, volume, issue, DOI, ISSN). I've updated translators, updated Zotero itself, and tested this on both my Mac and Linux systems.

• Frank, I've been working on my database, and the rdf import problem came up again. After several updates, MLZ is now importing my rdf files without giving any errors, and all the entries get imported. However, several fields in my entries systematic…

• Uh-oh, I'm afraid something is not working quite right. If I add a new entry, I can't edit the field "Author" in it (the old entries that I had added before the update are fine). It seems to be the only field that has this problem. Sorry about that!

• It works! I didn't have time to play around with it much yet, but I can see that the Farsi fields are right-aligned. So I see that the rest of the fields (date, issue, volume, etc) become RTL as soon as you type in "fa" in the Language field. Well, …

• Well, I've been doing an extensive search for software with these features in the past month, trying out all kinds of programs, and looks like there is very little out there in the way of bidi support implemented in bibliography software. MLZ might …

• Is the fresh release version 3.0m197? I've re-installed the MLZ client, then tried to update it several times through Firefox addon management, but I see the same behavior. The field tag in the respective fields is set to "fa", I've also changed the…

• I've made a gist with 3 examples. The first one is the one I've discussed above (in the title, (CCHF) should be just to the left of کریمه-کنگو); example 2: CCHF should be on the very right (in the beginning of the RTL line); and example 3 should hav…

• Frank, thank you so much for responding so rapidly! I'll make up a few entries with some variation (similar to the problems described in the bidi documentation file - by the way thanks for the link), and post the links back in here. It seems to me t…

• This happens as I'm editing a field of an entry in Zotero (when one field contains mostly Farsi but with some Roman script included). So, the word order in that field is reflected in the citation. Other than that, the text in citations is exported c…
