Translators allow one-click saving of references in your library if a PDF is available, they even download it for you and automatically attach it to the entry in your library! What if it doesn’t work? Be sure that Firefox is open, otherwise Chrome won’t be able to sense and save items. What are Zotero translators? Translators enable Zotero to sense when you’re on a site displaying bibliographic information that you can import into your library. If you are adventurous, you can try the Standalone Alpha or Beta version and connect it in the same way. You still need to have your main Zotero library in Firefox. This was never announced, which is why I’m devoting a post to this well kept secret! Can I now install Zotero in Chrome or Safari? No, this post describes a way to get Zotero support in Chrome or Safari. The connectors have been developed for use with Standalone, but in a streak of insight, the developers also allowed communication with the Firefox version of Zotero. Quick Q&A Huh? When was this cool feature added? Work on the Standalone version started about a year ago. Enjoy the goods of Zotero translators in Chrome or Safari! (Remember that Firefox has to be open for Chrome to recognise and save the reference.).Restart Firefox as well as your other browser to get them linked up properly.Within the options, search for “zotero”, locate the option and double-click to enable it. Start Firefox and type about:config in the address bar.Install the Chrome or Safari connector for Zotero in the browser of your choice.
Here’s a quick tip for Zotero users who like to do their browsing in Chrome or Safari: you can install “Zotero Connectors” that will make Zotero recognize references in Chrome and Safari just like in Firefox.
