@nickbart > Even if BBT continues to export Zotero’s language fields to biblatex’s langid fields, and never to language, which I maintain is the only sensible way, Please define "sensible". My question has been: What *practical harm* would resu…

@nickbart > Exporting Zotero's "language" field to the biblatex field "language" would result in what are now merely language-dependent formatting instructions all of a sudden turned into textual output as well, breaking virtually every style on …

Turns out BBT already has this, I just forgot: https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/installation/preferences/export/index.html#export-language-as Thanks!!!! I confirm that "export-language-as"="both" solves my problem: the generated reference…
-
> The two fields do different things. I know that. My point is: Generate **both** `langid = {japanese}` and `language = {japanese}` in the bibtex file from the **single** `language = japanese` field of Zotero.

> I suppose creating all entries for multiple chapters should be relatively simple, as long as the web translator for the publisher's platform is good enough for that. Thanks. This comment of yours prompted me to re-examine the process. Then, I…

> When the different types will be updated to include a "DOI" field, this information will be directly picked up from the "Extra" field. I know that, as I implied in my initial posting. What I've been wondering for a long time is: Why are peopl…

This comment might answer your question.Quite right! Thanks! The thread includes the following comment: Fully parsed dates will be normalized to a uniform format in a future version. which was made in April 2022. So, it seems that it's a matter …

I think I've found a bug. I have this entry in the abbreviation table: "dynamics of atmospheres oceans": "Dyn. Atmos. Oceans", for the journal "Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans". This abbreviation sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I chang…

remove the colon You are right! I've found another piece of "grammar": Remove the word "and". So, Doesn't work . . ."dynamics of atmosphere and oceans": "Dyn. Atmos. Oceans", Works . . . "dynamics atmosphere oceans": "Dyn. Atmos. Oceans", Doesn't …

You can find your data dir under prefs -> advanced -> files & folders -> show data directory. Aha! It turns out it's ~/Zotero/. I'm now successful in abbreviating the journal names, except a colon in a journal name seems to be prevent…
-
you can edit this file and place it in /abbreviations.json, I've edited abbreviations.json and I now want to test it but I haven't been able to locate the directory you mention. I searched ~/Library/Application Support/Zotero/, ~/Library/Caches/Zot…

This is the default list of abbreviations Thank you! I've just tested the first journal name in the list by creating a fake entry in Zotero and looking at what Better BibTeX generates. Sure enough the journal name "academia peruana de cirugia" is…
-
Use HTML element instead Thanks! So, a subset of HTML tags work here. Nice. [By the way, are you the Pascal I know?]
-
> I could also add a feature to BBT to load a list of abbreviations from a csv file. That would, of course, be a great help! . . . but it'd be a classic re-inventing-the-wheel situation for you. . . . Because the "abbreviator" code is already…
-
> apparently the abbreviator is only used in the wordprocessor plugins Oh my god. Thank you for the information! > If that gets fixed in Zotero Okay, I'll submit a request if nobody has (and if there is a channel to submit a report or requ…
-
> The abbreviator is built into Zotero, it's not something you can look at as such. Oh. I thought it took a form of a "table", which you can look at. Do you mean it's an "algorithm" expressed in a source code? If so, the algorithm is seriously …
-
Thank you (always)! Where can one take a look at the "abbreviator"? > I haven't yet found a style that actually outputs abbreviated journal Can you elaborate on that? I did obtain the abbreviation "Z." in .bib from "Zeitschrift" in the Zotero…
-
> When copying from Zotero, journal abbreviations use whatever is in the Journal Abbr. field and if that's empty use the full journal name. So, I think it would be nice if there were a function to fill the "Journal Abbr" field for each entry (pe…

@DWL-SDCA > What you place in the abstract fields of your own Zotero records should be what best serves your own needs. Thank you for your suggestion and for explaining your method in detail! I'll probably adopt your method, including using t…
-
@adamsmith Thank you for your comment! > most people paste DOIs without the doi: prefix If that's the case, I agree with you: Trying to guess that the pasted code may be a doi handle would be overkill. But it may be still useful to detect th…
-
@dstillman > The error message was accurate I agree 100%. But, it is also true that it's NOT INFORMATIVE to an ordinary user. Whether it's TECHNICALLY accurate is very different from whether it's informative. A "handle" behaves exactly like…
-
> That's a handle, not a DOI. DOIs begin with "10." Thank you for the valuable information! In that case, my request would be to alter the error message from Zotero. I obtained the handle from a web page written by the authors of the document …
-
@dstillman Thank you very much for the details! I've forwarded the information, as well as the link to this thread, to the publisher. I at least got their response that the information is forwarded to the technical department which produces their w…
-
@dstillman Thank you for your response! I wonder what you mean by "the page is invalid". If a detailed technical description of the problem is available, I could contact the publisher to ask them to fix it.
-
Is this something which can be addressed on the Zotero side? Or is the website broken in some way?

> You don't "create a custom locale" I'm not sure what you mean by "you don't". All I said was that you can create a custom locale on Linux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/AddingNewLanguage So, yes, it's possible (on Linux…
-
> Zotero doesn't use a custom date format from the system currently, just the locale. Thank you for the information. I've found that not only for Zotero, but basically the same question is asked about macOS. How do you customize "the locale"? …
-
@emilianoeheyns Thank you so much for your comprehensive answer. The best solution would be for the Zotero community as a whole to make the decision of where the personal research notes should go and where to put the extra bit of information whic…
-
> The only way I can think of is to tag one of them and then include/exclude the notes in a postscript based on the presence/absence of that tag. Thanks! So, this discussion suggests that 1) The developers of Better Bibtex think that Notes is…

> Do you export plain Extra to note in BBT? Thanks for the nice idea. In principle, that is a good idea, but in practice, it wouldn't work, I'm afraid. The Extra field is filled with irrelevant information when you import bibliographic inform…
