Various unconventional isotope effect experiments on high-temperature cuprate superconductors are reported together with observations of multi-component order parameters. The experiments are interpreted in terms of multi-band superconductivity where polaron formation takes place which leads to a renormalization of the single particle energies. Experiments and theory comply consistently with each other
