So welcome Very Happy

Then, the phpBB SEO mod rewrite title injection technique is able to deal with all the char-set supported by htmlentities. This mostly concern the advanced mod rewrite, the one to inject all titles available in urls.

The principle with url is you can only use ASCII characters, without accents, at least if you want nice urls. This means Greek characters won't be injected in urls in all cases.
This means that you'd only be interested in the advanced and mixed mod rewrite versions if your forum and topic titles do often use Latin char-set words, like it can be the case for techy forums.

In such cases, a title like : "ΚΑΝΑΛΙ RSS" would end up like this after transformation, in the url : "rss".

So, if your you can for example use both Greek and English in your forums and categories titles, but, mostly use Greek in topic titles, the mixed mod rewrite can be really good, if your user do often use interesting English terms in their topic titles, then, the advanced one would be efficient, and if you'd like to go for something easy to deal with, and you are mostly using Greek in your forum titles, then, the simple one would be perfect.
