Ha. I've just discovered that RFC4646 has been superceded by RFC5646. The subtag registry is over half a megabyte in size, and contains more that 8000 entries. Taming this beast in the UI will be a bit of a challenge, but once done we'll have a s…

Right you are, I was trying in an older document. Can sadly confirm that drag and drop does not work in a freshly minted one, but that Ctl-Alt-C / Ctl-Alt-A still do.
-
Drag and drop works fine with Google Docs for me (Linux, Firefox 3.6.9, Zotero 2.0 dev xpi). It did fail on the first attempt after a clean install of Zotero, but only because the bibliography format under gear menu -> Preferences -> Export…

Third patch still has problems. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12752/disambiguate-bug/#Item_6 However, in going back to the code yet again, I finally spotted the underlying problem that prompted the original patch -- it's a small typo which, …
-
Thanks for this additional info. I'm pretty sure that I've identified the underlying source of the issue that prompted the original patch, and I've posted a revised patch for review. (My track record over the past few days has not been good, so fe…

Can you post your style file as a gist, and post the link here? http://gist.github.com/

This is probably due to a sort bug that affects this version. A patch was introduced in a recent release (thanks to me, I'm embarrassed to say), which messed up sorting. We think the issues have been solved in the latest 2.0 development xpi. Ple…

@mheim, (1) Take a deep breath; (2) Open a clean Firefox profile for testing; (3) In the new profile, install the development trunk extension and plugin; (4) Add tags to a title field as described here; (5) Create a document and insert a reference …

For anyone of a technical bent that might be following this thread, the UI portion of a multilingual development branch is now complete, pending bug fixes and cosmetic adjustments. If you would like to take the code out for a spin, it can be run fr…

That's the best news I've heard all day. :)

It may be the Zotero version you're running. A patch was introduced at version 2.0.4 (thanks to me, I'm embarrassed to say), which messed up sorting. We think the issues have been solved in the latest 2.0 development xpi. Please install it and tr…

I am able to confirm this. The second key is delivering a descending sort, while the style requires ascending. We're still not quite there. I've revived ticket #1717 (again), and posted a third patch to it, which seems to work with both Chicago a…

Working now, for creators. Here's what multilingualized metadata will look like on a vanilla client (and, at present, on zotero.org): http://www.zotero.org/fbennetttest/items/145346709 Frank
-
Bingo, that was the problem. It's currently dropping the supplemental data on multilingual fields in the sync, but that's just a matter of teaching the client to be literal-minded on certain fields.
-
Possibly it's stumbling over two first-class field variables that I added to creators: servantLang and masterIndex. The data is encoded in the lastName field, so if that's the trouble, it might be enough to screen them out at this end.
-
Thinking out loud ... the response to this is usually that this kind of behavior depends on a hierarchical data model, in which the records and the archive are shown as separate items in the Zotero DB, with the former depending on or pointing to the…
-
This does indeed seem to have been caused by the sorting patch. I should have tested more carefully. I've reopened ticket #1717, and filed a followup patch to address the original descending-sorts problem, this time without breaking sorts in Oecol…

Will check this out immediately.

Please post style code to a service like http://gist.github.com/, and post the link here. Apart from being harder to read without any indenting, style code can be corrupted by the forum display software. To submit styles directly, you should be ab…

Sorry for not looking into this earlier, and for any alarm caused by my casual reference to variations in JS sort ordering et cetera. The problem in the current processor turns out to be very simple to fix. I've filed a ticket and a patch (which s…

It's certainly worth running the document through 2.1, as ajlyon suggests. In case what I wrote above wasn't clear, I think it's very likely that the sorting issues will clear up for you in 2.1 One note on the processor: the current Zotero 2.1 is …

brazuca, The fault may lie in the Javascript engine itself. Here's a (probably outdated) expression of mild annoyance from the citeproc-js source. // // note for posterity: Rhino and Spidermonkey produce different // sort results for items with ma…
-
Sounds like it might be caused by an invalid style confusing the processor. Have you validated it against the 0.8.1 schema?

The page under your link is a raw BibTeX entry. While that's what the Google Scholar translator uses to acquire metadata, the translator is not (currently) able to scrape them directly, when they are displayed on-screen. The design of the translat…

Javascript has a localeCompare() string method that is driven by the collation of the current locale. With a utf8 locale, sorts using that method should get these issues right for the most part. As far as I can tell, localeCompare() is not used fo…
-
Yep, should definitely be opt-in, since cramming everything into the same field on Zotero-side will mess up the output pretty badly in 2.0.
-
This link to the APS journals shows that multilingual citation is starting to catch hold among publishers, too.
-
Hmm. The CiNii aggregator site in Japan provides translated titles, and transliterations of names in kana and roman. Would be very slick to have all this data play smoothly in the Zotero UI. It's a main watering hole for researchers working in Ja…

Discussion of dates often gets confusing because of the number of processing layers involved: (1) Zotero translation Read dates in a variety of formats and, if possible, convert them into a stable internal representation for automatic processing;…
