  • You could use the main issue tracker (https://www.zotero.org/trac/) and mark the component as "multilingual". Alternatively, you could post a new thread here on the forums and put [Multilingual] in the thread title. Finally, Frank and everyone else …
    in [Multilingual] Zotero fields and CSL variables Comment by ajlyon July 22, 2011
  • Try the steps at the end of this thread to install the updated translator, then restart Firefox and see if it works.
    in ISI Web of Science not working in 2010 Comment by ajlyon July 22, 2011
  • This is a Cuadra Star system, and Zotero doesn't have support for. It does seem to provide MARC output, which Zotero could be made to import. There's a list of organizations that use it on the Cuadra web site: http://www.cuadra.com/clients/sites.htm…

  • Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Library Catalog (InnoPAC).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 th…
    in Zotero not sensing item records in Millennium/III catalog interface Comment by ajlyon July 22, 2011
  • Сейчас не скачивает потому, что патенты бывают большого объема-- вроде для другого какого-то сайта решили, что не стоит скачать PDF. Но обновил транслятор и добавил скачивание приложений-- заново установите от той же ссылки и сработает.

  • The main thing you can do to test this is to post any records that fail to import correctly. I'm glad you find it useful, and I'm particularly glad to hear that it still works with the site-- I was afraid I might have broken the web support.

  • Yes, the multilingual version can do this.

    in ISI Workaround (bibtex option gone) Comment by ajlyon July 21, 2011
  • I'm looking at adding support for ISI/WoK's proprietary format, so that you can just copy it to the clipboard and select "Import from clipboard" in the gear menu. This shouldn't be too hard. The relevant ticket is here: https://www.zotero.org/trac/t…

  • I use ScanTailor and DjVu to make reasonably-sized files of photos. Takes some time, but working with piles of photos, or PDFs of unprocessed images, is even worse. Still, if we add support for the file:// protocol to the Add Link to URI option (wh…

  • If title casing is turning CW into Cw and USSR into Ussr, then that's a bug.
    in No Title in MLA Style Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • Смотрите мой ответ здесь: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18761/google-patents-not-working/ Похоже, у них недавно были какие-то изменения в структуре сайта. Надо будет скачать новую версию транслятора с http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/…
    in google patents translator not working Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • This could be done as a Zotero plugin, even-- there is an event triggered when a new item is added, so we don't need to dig around in the Zotero innards to do that. We can let saving proceed normally, then offer the option to delete the new (or old)…
    in Duplicate detection? Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • See the discussion on the developer list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/zotero-dev/-/7B2VorRVn6IJ And follow-ups on this sort of question should be directed to that list as well. But this is possible in the current trunk builds of Zotero.
    in Importing from dynamic content Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • I've updated the translator to get past that interstitial page and grab the actual PDF. Try installing again from Github. And apparently something was up with my VPN -- UCLA does have access to these journals. False alarm.

    in Importing ISI format Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • If someone can post some example ISI records to use in testing, I'll make the necessary adjustments to the translator to make it import them directly from the file. This is a pretty simple change, but I want real test data (and I'm having trouble wi…
    in Importing ISI format Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • If you visit a page like http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1088-4963.2009.01154.x/pdf , are you sent directly to the PDF, or is there a page that comes up before the PDF? If you see the PDF, is it in a frame? I'm having trouble finding a…

    in what happened to icloud? Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • The standalone is long overdue for an update, and many translators have been fixed and updated since it was released in February. Hopefully a new version with improved translators is imminent.
    in Chrome connector does not work Comment by ajlyon July 20, 2011
  • Try installing from Github again-- the version I posted had some bits that might not work on Zotero 2.1.8. I've corrected it and pushed the new version.

    in Boston Public Library Comment by ajlyon July 19, 2011
  • The library catalog (Aleph) that the library uses is broken for many non-English installations, and has been for two years or more. That's not good-- but I don't how long it'll be before someone gets a chance to fix this. There's a tracking ticket h…
    in RAMBI still isnt recognized well Comment by ajlyon July 19, 2011
  • First, go through http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues and post an error ID if those steps don't address the issue. If it works for other people on the same proxy, it's probably not the proxy issue.
