Ok, just to let all know, the solution in the post cited above works. I didn’t have to convert my DB, but changing the connection from WP to the database made things work more as expected.

The problem with ubernyms, though, is not related to this, as i found out later. Ubernyms stores (to this date) the text to be in the tooltips as HTML entities, which is inapropriate to deal with UTF-8. I have posted a comment in the plugin homepage about it.

Very helpful, thank you so much. I will try the solution described there.

I think i will also file a request in the trak so that the setting for UTF-8 makes WP connect to the DB already in UTF-8.
I agree, this should be default!

I think it has nothing to do with FeedBurner, because i run a local copy of my site (for testing purposes) and the 2020 dates show when i go to the plain local feed page.

Any ideas what could be causing this inside WP?

Do you get email sent from the contact form you have set up in your blog asking for help about nearly everything that has been cited here? Even after you have set up links to the appropriate places people should go for help?

Sorry. I had searched for it in the list archives, will just try harder then.

The link doesn’t work for me either…

Thanks moshu, i already subscribe, but there was no oficial release through the list. Some language packages are being made available though, so i would also suppose the 24th POT is the final one, but i thought i would check first.

Allright, what i tried failed completely. All i can say is, you were right! No surprise here.

Anyway, just would like to leave the observation that for a complete i18n, the default category base and author base should be configurable (same goes for the words “search” etc generated by the permalink structure…)

But i do want the link, i just don’t want the word “author” in english! It is as simple as removing the H from author.
Thanks again

I think i just found out that i would have to edit classes.php , which is somewhat an adventure (that is, if i want the links formatted as i said above, it would require me to hard-edit the default category base and author base).
However, i think this could be an issue worth looking at for a complete i18n of WP, as to a non-english-speaking reader something like “author”, “feed” or “search” is as criptografic as ?p= in the URI.
Thanks Beel! I will post this to the appropriate mailing list.

The plugin is causing a lot of “headers already sent” errors in the admin interface (not in the homepage, though). Using 1.5.1.2 here…

And it is going in Kubrik 2! Thanks, Kafkaesqui.

Thanks moshu, that is just what i was looking for. Sure it can be improved, but cuts it for me right now.

Hi,
i realized i have a problem with my blog and thought i would use this thread to ask about it, since it is related to search engines.
The problem is the main subject of my site is taijiquan, which is a chinese word. Using an older but more popular transliteration system, it can be written “taichichuan”, and there are more variations. But as i chose to refer to the subject by the current standart spelling, i am losing a lot of traffic.
The meta keywords tag seems to have been practically deprecated by major engines, so i have been thinking about what i can do.
Do you think that it would help to write the alternative spellings inside a spna, and hide then span with CSS?
all help is much appreciated!
