 ====Full List of Translators====
-You can find a full, automatically generated list of all Zotero translators [[https://zotero-translator-tests.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html|here]]. The list is generated daily and includes automatic tests of most translators, so that Zotero developers and volunteers can quickly identify and repair issues.
+You can see a list of the 600+ Zotero translators, along with their code, at the [[https://github.com/zotero/translators/|Zotero Translator GitHub repository]].
+==== Translator Troubleshooting ====
+If Zotero fails to import high-quality data from a site that you think should be supported, first check whether you're experiencing a general problem by trying to save an article from Wikipedia or a book from Amazon. If that doesn't work either, see [[Troubleshooting Translator Issues]]. You're having trouble with a specific site, report it in the [[/forum|Zotero Forums]] along with the exact URL you're trying.
