Summary of the case:

What doesn't work:

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <string>


int main()
{
    using namespace std;



    wcin.imbue(locale("greek"));
    wcout.imbue(locale("greek"));

    wstring ws;

    wcin>> ws;

    wcout<< ws<< endl;
} 


What works (under 2 conditions):

1. Only when "locale::global()" statement is used:

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <string>


int main()
{
    using namespace std;

    locale::global(locale("en_US"));

    wcin.imbue(locale("greek"));
    wcout.imbue(locale("greek"));

    wstring ws;

    wcin>> ws;

    wcout<< ws<< endl;
} 


2. Only when "ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false)" statement is used.

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <string>


int main()
{
    using namespace std;

    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);

    wcin.imbue(locale("greek"));
    wcout.imbue(locale("greek"));

    wstring ws;

    wcin>> ws;

    wcout<< ws<< endl;
}
