  • The manual doesn't show it superscripted, so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks! (an hour from request to fix!--- you rock!)

  • in Spanish all ordinal numbers end with "a" right? Not quite. It depends on what your are "ordinaling". In this case it is modifying edición (a feminine noun), so yes, in this context they all end in "a". But if you modify a masculine noun, that …

  • Translation: I'm using Firefox 3.6 and Zotero 2.0rc5 with WinWord 2003 (SPANISH version). I'm using "fields." I upgraded from 1.0.10 , and now, when I convert all my documents written before, I lose the bibliographic reference (all the previous …

    in Word/Ooo plugin - Warning for Show Editor Comment by arggem January 30, 2010
  • Yeah. I probably use it a little too freely, then. What's the best way to handle "See also...", "Cf. etc.? I use the "Show Editor" function quite liberally for those. So, it also means that if I modify the reference (say, I had the wrong date o…

  • Hmm, I thought that was the point of using the "Show Editor," that it would retain all of it's citation features. So, no, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads up. Is there hope that someday this will be "fixed"? Or is that just the nature…

  • Weird is an understatement. 1. No, I didn't have an s.d. and pág. together. 2. No, I don't think the links were broken...the problem is with [nearly!] all of them. And they still link to the DB. 3. Some were changed with "show editor," but not …

  • adamsmith! YOU ROCK! It works great in a NEW doc. However, in an old doc the s.d. -> s.f. conversion works fine, but the pág(s). -> p(p). doesn't update, even after refreshing. It does, however, behave correctly when I insert a new citat…

  • As far as I know right now. Other than this problem: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3561/multiple-citation-with-same-author, but I don't know where that problem lies. If I run across anything else, I'll let you know. Thanks for your help!!

  • adamsmith! Great! Yes, I do need a patched APA style. I need to get my prospectus done soon! Thanks! I think s.d. means sin date ... it's part of a new spanglish style!
    in Errors in Spanish bibliographyLocale Comment by arggem January 29, 2010
  • adamsmith, In the case of the translation for "n.d" I think it is "s.d" is clearly a mistake. It's like it only got half-translated. "s.f." I think would be a universal [Spanish] translation of "n.d." "Pág." on the other hand, could go either wa…

  • I obviously know nothing about the technicalities of all this (I just use zotero!)...but I thought it would be just a matter of tweaking the locale. The Spanish locale was erroneously coded so that n.d. was translated, s.d. Wouldn't it be just a ma…

  • I don't know about the technical portion of your comment, but I did find this out in: APA blog post: it is noted in the Foreword that the manual is now available “in Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, and many other languages.” Is that bad news?

    in Library Disappears After Upgrade Comment by arggem January 5, 2010
  • Hi Nigel! Welcome to the forums. For starters, have you checked the Known Issues page? Especially the part about incompatible extensions. Also, what version of Zotero are you using?
