    First of all, thank you in advance for your time, spent in reading this.
    While my bilingual (Eng/Greek) content appears as it should be, in both languages, each post’s month/day names are displayed as question marks (plain, not inside diamonds) in Greek… Tried all different encodings on my browser, but still nothing changes. WP is set to UTF-8.
    Any ideas??!!??!

    Where do you see the problem? In the backend or the theme or both?

    The problem occurs only at theme.

    Ok. That’s progress. The problem is only with the month names not the numbers, right? Do the dates work if you switch to twentyten?

    What does the the_date() function look like in your theme?

    Also, I did find this, which might be a bit of last resort but good to have anyway. If we can’t get this working with the built in functions/localizations you ought to be able to leverage that into a working solution.

    Nope, it doesn’t work with any theme.
    The func in question is: the_time(‘l, F j, Y’).
    That post is a good deal but that means that I have to have an if..then..else logic at every the_date/the_time method. i ‘ll consider using it.
    Thank you very much, really!

    No, drop that code into a function in your functions.php file and use that new function instead of the WP default.
