If you can provide strings, I'm sure you can recruit Spanish-to-English translators here on the Zoter forums, especially if it will help bring native PDF support to Zotero.
-
Have you tried it? I don't know. Such a translator won't be accepted into the main Zotero distribution, since they are supposed to fail cleanly or work. Nothing in between. What specifically are you trying to do?
-
I've rewritten the translator from scratch to use the new interface. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/ProQuest 2.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/supp…

Autoconvert, presumably. There's no reason CSL 1.01, or 1.1, or whatever can't have a migration XSLT.
-
Please provide some sample URLs. I'll look into this.
-
No. There is no mini extension like Chrome and Safari have, and I don't think one is planned; for obvious reasons it is a lower priority than creating an IE extension, or any of a great many important projects. Still, it would probably be quite eas…

Regarding your final question, such disambiguation is provided in many styles; it's pretty standard. It's defined in the style specification here: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#disambiguation The behavior you're describing i…
-
No, links between items will be required for some legal citation as well, so it's on the roadmap, but isn't yet possible. Can you provide details on the citations needed, on their style, etc.? This won't happen in the short term, but it's good to k…

Dan's suggested email address is probably better than Frank's or mine. But posting a link here is probably the very best option, so it certainly doesn't get lost in anyone's inbox.
-
You can post the completed translations to any file sharing site and post a link here, or you could send them to Frank (fbennett), me (email in Zotero profile), or any of a number of community and full-time contributors. The developer/localizer comm…

You've identified an area where Zotero is intentionally vague-- the software exists to serve you, and not vice versa. Still, I agree that it would be good if someone wrote a page that served as a set of ideas for what might be an appropriate use of …

Please note this:And you can probably mark multiple results in Proquest and save them as a single RIS file. There is probably a way to save references to a folder within the interface and save them all at once, making alobee's approach much more eff…

I can't speak for the team either, but there's really no question that the team is interested in having as many quality localizations of the software as possible. Yet another advantage of Zotero over certain unnamed competitors.
-
For (2), you should use the "related" tab to link to the item.
-
No, no movement. There was an offer by someone who was going to work on a translator, but that hasn't happened yet. I also offered to work on it, and I was kindly sent the source of several example pages to work with, but I haven't done it yet (in p…

Select, right-click, Create bibliography from selected items. Copy to clipboard or save as rich text or HTML. Open or paste as appropriate, print.
-
The process isn't failproof, since some PDFs don't have embedded text Zotero can use, and since some PDFs don't show up in Google Scholar (which Zotero uses for this feature). First make sure that you weren't locked out of Google Scholar, by going …
-
It's not unrelated-- the article that appears is from the bibliography of the article you are viewing, item #132. If the DOI for the actual article you are viewing appeared anywhere on the page, it would be detected by Zotero automatically and you …
-
See http://eblong.com/zarf/bookscan/#convert, although MG6's caveats are spot-on. I see very little utility in a traditional bar code reader for my Zotero usage.
-
Drag the lot of them into Zotero, and right-click and do "Fetch metadata for PDF" for bunches of about 20.
-
And you can probably mark multiple results in Proquest and save them as a single RIS file. No word yet on getting access through UCLA-- offers of ways to get access through other libraries or Proquest directly are welcome. And for those of you who …
-
When write access to the Zotero API finally emerges, adding things by ISBN (and thus by barcode) or DOI with an Android app will become rather easy.
-
(Was the actual meaning that with bookmarks the citations themselves can be edited in both OOo and Word? If so, that wasn't clear.)Yes, that's precisely what the intended meaning is. I'm currently using 2.0.9; do you think the advantages of moving t…
-
The "highlighting" is because of the way that OpenOffice shows what's in a field (the "stable" kind of citation); OpenOffice doesn't show you the contents of a bookmark (the "unstable" kind of citation) in the same way. So the lack of highlighting s…
-
Now which clone is faster? ;) [Please disregard this banter. The advice of trying to use the address bar icon still stands -- the translator was last updated in early January, and it should be working.]
-
The problem is that Ovid is misusing the RIS format and we can't automatically catch & fix every site's idiosyncrasies. But in this case you should just click the page icon in the address bar of Firefox to save from Ovid. We have a site transla…
-
Email to my wonderful go-to librarian sent. I think ProQuest and the lot of them should send Zotero a big thank-you card and free access to all these databases, since we spend so much time making their unusable interfaces actually convenient for re…

These ones? http://graffletopia.com/stencils/248

First click the "Refresh" button in the Zotero toolbar in Word. If that doesn't fix things, it sounds like you used the citation editor in the Word integration plugin at some point. If you've made manual adjustments after clicking "Show Editor" in t…

No, not really. I don't know why this started working for you -- there might have been underlying file access issues. But I agree that Zotero rocks.
