I can use Greek & Latin characters alternately (by using the commands \greektext & \latintext respectively) but this I can do only within a single (main) tex file. But when I use the commands \latintext and \greektext in other auxiliary tex files e.g. chapters (whose code is afterwards entered in the main tex file via the command \import) then I get an error message.
The question is how can I alternate between Greek & Latin characters inside these auxiliary tex files ?
Thanks

alternate between Greek&Latin characters
This should be absolutely no problen, as long as all files have the same encoding. Can you show us a minimal working example? Maybe that is a limitation by
Have all files encoded in utf8, at least XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX don't have any problems.
import, but this command is from a package i don't know. Have all files encoded in utf8, at least XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX don't have any problems.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
Re: alternate between Greek&Latin characters
I fixed it (there was nothing to be fixed actually) just plain stupidity on my behalf.
In order for the commands \latintext and \greektext to function within a separate tex file,you have to write in that file at some point
"...\latintext somelatintext...", but then it's imperative to switch back to your primary language , which in my case is greek (otherwise you get an error message). So then you have to write \greektext. That did it for me.
