Period stripping has never been something I've attempted in writing site translators. As a general data hygiene issue, I suppose we can try to strip them in the future, as part of the growing and unwritten set of best practices.
-
There were recently major changes made to translator propagation to MLZ. Sounds like something went wrong with it-- hold on and Frank will take a look.
-
Great! I'll push it out shortly.
-
The documentation is here: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators Post to http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev if you have any questions.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Scopus.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working again. If this works for you, p…

Did it work for you in the past? Dan: Can you post the relevant portion of Carl's error report?
-
Yes, I augmented DOI.js to use the ISBN search in the Open WorldCat translator. If you'd like to try it out, go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/DOI_and_ISBN.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data dir…

Actually, the Scanner app is supposed to be 1.6-compatible; there's a commit in the source repository that was intended precisely to add compatibility with Android 1.6+ (it was previously 2.2+, like Zandy). But definitely get in touch with the dev o…

I did augment the DOI translator to add ISBN support at one point, but I was getting a lot of false positives (even with the check digit, there are a lot of valid ISBN-10s out there just floating around!), so I gave up on that project.
-
We should auto-generate, since the testing code is in place.
-
That said, it would be nice to add Z39.50 support. But that's not happening until I have a day to spare playing with unfamiliar binary formats.
-
MLZ does have documentation and community support. It doesn't have official support of the CHNM team, but Frank is a great developer and very dedicated to making it work cleanly, and it's being used in serious projects around the world. So there's r…

Judging from the responses I've seen to Zandy, I'm pretty sure there are people who find it pretty useful, especially for smaller what-was-that-paper? moments. Less so for reading PDFs, obviously, but just having the references is something like Qno…

pickettj: The date issue is a known one, but it's particularly difficult to address, and probably won't be fixed in the foreseeable future. It affects me too, and it's a known but low-priority limitation of CSL. Worth noting, though, that a tentati…

Zandy doesn't support Android 1.6, so either you're dearling with the Scanner app, or something went wrong with the market and it let you download an incompatible app.
-
Great job! I'm glad to see this happening, and I'd love to help out in any way I can, short of actually developing, since I don't have a Mac or iOS device to work on. And when I buy my next Mac, I'll start coding for this too. Hopefully some others…

I live a good deal further, five hours by plane (Los Angeles), but I'd also be thrilled to work with you on this. We (people at CHNM, Sebastian, Rintze) can chat by forum, email, or even phone to figure out what works for you. The other non-CHNM per…

Well, we can fix this if someone chips in using the other interface type. I know adamsmith is hesitant to take on this translator-- maybe someone can arrange proxy access for me to try working on it from an IP that gets the other interface.
-
The Zotfile implementation is not pure JavaScript-- it uses the Poppler PDF library to do the same basic thing, but I understand it's safe and reliable.
-
Working for me still. See www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues If the problem persists, provide a Report ID. Also, you could provide the Factiva accession number for several items that aren't working, which would make diagnosin…
-
The localized terms may or may not work with Mendeley-- they embed the same CSL processor as Zotero does, but proper localization depends on the application sending the desired locale to the processor. It works in Zotero-- you'll need to contact Men…

Select a character encoding other than UTF-8 when exporting. Edit: Sorry, looks like you did that. But make sure-- that's precisely what causes this...
-
EndNote includes a Z39.50 implementation that allows it to search various providers for items, using basic fields like author and title. It would be a significant undertaking to build Z39.50 support into Zotero, but it would make it possible to retr…
-
Pushed. Clients should receive the new translator within 24 hours. Select "Update translators" from the Zotero prefs to receive it immediately.
-
What format are these references in? Do you have the PubMed IDs? Zotero can import PubMed's XML format, so if you use any existing tool to get a file with all the references, you can then import that file into Zotero quite quickly. I believe PubMed …
-
Great, I'll push this out then -- much better than nothing.
-
Install now-- I now have WoS working as well. Until I work out the issue with multiple item saves, I've instituted a limit on the Select Items system, so that only the first item selected in the select items dialog will be saved. This still needs s…
-
Try installing again-- I had made a small mistake packaging. The version posted now (I just updated, so download from the URL above again) should work for searches in "All Databases". I'll go back now and see what I can do to make "Web of Science" s…

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/ISI Web of Knowledge.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). This version saves individual items relia…

Keylex: Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/BibTeX.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). If this works for you, please post here so that …
