Zotero Translate

This repository contains the Zotero translation architecture code responsible for parsing Zotero translators and running them on live and static web pages to retrieve Zotero items.

A consumer of this repository needs to implement the following interfaces:

• Zotero.Translators found in translators.js
• Zotero.HTTP found in http.js
• Zotero.Translate.ItemSaver found in translation/translate_item.js

You also need to:

• Call Zotero.Schema.init(data) with Zotero schema.json.
• Call Zotero.Date.init(json) with the JSON from utilities/resource/dateFormats.json
• If running in a ModuleJS environment (e.g. Node.js) call require('../utilities/cachedTypes').setTypeSchema(typeSchema) with the result of utilities/resource/zoteroTypeSchemaData.js.

Please bundle translators and Zotero schema with the translation architecture. Do not load them from a remote server.

You may also want to reimplement or modify:

• Zotero.Repo found in repo.js to set up periodic translator update retrieval
• Zotero.Debug found in debug.js to customize debug logging
• Zotero and Zotero.Prefs found in zotero.js to set up the environment and long-term preference storage
• Zotero.Translate.ItemGetter found in translation/translate_item.js for export translation
• Zotero.Translate.SandboxManager found in translation/sandboxManager.js for a tighter Sandbox environment if available on your the platform
