i started seeing japanese/chinese characters on every page on etsy where "date" is shown...instead of 1 or january...it says 1月...
i have not set the language to japanese! so i am wondering why it suddenly appeared!!!
i don't want my customer who received my invoice or convos with some kind of characters they are not familiar with even though it is one character...
please let me know what to do!!!

Hi guys,

Sorry about the strange issues you're seeing. I think I'm aware of what might be causing this issue. I'm going to poke around and try to come up with a fix ASAP.

This issue should only effect what *you* see and not what other people who are viewing your items are seeing (if you have a shop). Additionally, I'm fairly certain that this only occurs when one's saved locale settings are different to settings which we might guess based on your location and browser settings.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Yesterday some had "Etats-Unis" instead of United States (French instead of English). Today another reported commas in place of decimal points in prices (European instead of US marking).

Sounds like yours is another variation of this problem.

ETS I don't see odd characters in your listings checked.

hello, there is a problem with some of my listings.
I've noticed that (even if I set everything in English) my featured items had the titles in Italian, only once you click on them you could see them in English. I removed the featured items, but I noticed that some of my items in many T done today appear with Italian titles. I'm afraid this is damaging my shop during search. I hope you understood what I mean..
Do you have any idea of what is wrong?
