Here's some documentation on writing a Zotero translator. These
translators are written in javascript and added to the
zotero/translators.git repository. When users in Firefox or Chrome, or
the standalone client, browse to an academic publisher's site, Zotero
uses the translators to extract metadata and a pdf. Sometimes these
translators break and need to be updated, or sometimes an academic
publisher's site is missing from the collection (it happens). Here's
some details on how to fix translators or contribute.
"Translators are stored as individual JavaScript files in the
“translators” subdirectory of the Zotero data directory. While
translators can be edited with any tool, Scaffold is a Firefox add-on
dedicated to writing Zotero translators, offering advantages such as
real-time testing and debugging."
