268 Step 4: Download, Install, and Set Up the QuickStatements Translator

Zotero and Wikidata are integrated with the use of a translator, a script that converts metadata stored in one format to another. The translator, which is called Wikidata QuickStatements.js and is part of a Zotero extension called zotkat, will generate a set of text commands to be imported into QuickStatements, an online tool program that can read and execute commands to create or edit a Wikidata item (Wikidata contributors, 2021). For this step:
 * Download Wikidata QuickStatements.js ﬁle at https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotkat, and
 * Paste the Wikidata QuickStatements.js ﬁle into the “translators” folder (see ﬁgure 4) of your Zotero installation.

After this, restart Zotero and open “Program Preferences” under the Edit menu. To complete this step, highlight the “Export” tab, and select “Wikidata QuickStatements” under the “Default Output Format” dropped down menu, as indicated in figure 5.
