Hi!

Serendipity uses a system called "locale" to display dates in your language. This requires that your browser has a locale installed that matches your language.

You will need to contact your server admin to install one of those locales:

is_IS-UTF-8, is_IS-UTF8, icelandic, is, is_IS

Best regards,
Garvin

Thank you for contacting One.com !

Hi!

Please ask them if they also have the "UTF-8" variant installed! It seems they only have the ISO-charset locale variant installed.

Garvin

Hi!

Yes, you could ask your provider to please install the is_IS locale. It can be done in a matter of a few seconds.

If your provider refuses to install that, I sadly can only tell you that you won't be able to see correct dates in your installation. As you've seen fixing the "UTf-8 encoding" in the PHP files of Serendipity can lead to side-effects...

Best regards,
Garvin
