How to make a translator compatible with the translation server?

[Michael Unterkalmsteiner]

Hi!

I'm trying to use the Science Direct translator with the translation server. The translator is not compatible with the server ("browserSupport": "gcsib").
If I mark change it to "gcsibv" the translator is invoked, but I get the following error:

### end error message ###

Where should I look for to make the translator compatible with the translation server?

Thanks!

The only interesting thing in the translator is that it calls out to the ISBN search translator, which might not work in the translation server environment. That said, the code for ISBN searches is never called; the block that would call it is commented out.

Hi!

I've found the problem. I did not have the RIS translator (loaded by the Science Direct one) in the path with my modified translators. Now it works!

Thanks!
Michael
