Text Formatting ⇒ Greek Language.

[Karabill]

Hello everyone. I'm new in forum and I do not know if i posted my problem in the right place. On September I will do my bachelor's thesis and I thought that LaTeX is suitable for this. But I have a problem, I study in Greece and I cant find an easy way to write in greek and english like in MS Office(alt + Shift). Below i posted a sample of something I found but it will be tiring to do that all the time. So my question is, Do you know how can I change between english and greek language easily?

Thank you in advance,
Bill

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[greek,english]{babel}
\newcommand{\en}{\selectlanguage{english}}
\newcommand{\gr}{\selectlanguage{greek}}

\begin{document}


\gr Το \en LaTeX \gr είναι απίστευτο για να φτιάχνεις κέιμενα.


\end{document}

Hi, LaTeX is a very good tool for writing a report. I suggest to use the more modern XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX though, which enable you to use OpenType Fonts installed on your system.
Either way, you have to inform LaTeX about which Language is currently used, because LaTeX also hyphenates the text, and the patterns for greek and english differ.
