[Feature Req] Add support for Greek language
Closed this issue · 11 comments
Is it possible to add support for writing the abstract also in Greek language?
Hi @mkiatos,
Definitely yes! But I never used non-latin alphabets with my template.
Are you using "pdflatex". "xelatex" or "lualatex"?
How do you usually do to write in greek? (babel + input encoding + font encoding + …)
Just because I'm curious… what is your host university?
I think I did it…. :)
The greek text is from "Google Translate" and can be totally weird.
Only works properly with xelatex. I get some error with pdflatex (must be further investigated) and the text looks awful withlualatex.
May I ask your help to translate the strings in the following file to greek?
strings-gr.txt
And also the abstract file (that I made with Google Translate)?
abstract-gr.txt
Thanks a lot for the quick response. I have a problem with this syntax '\ntaddfile{abstract}[gr]{abstract-gr}'. When I change the language to {gr} the greek abstract disappears. I will attach the translated files in the coming days.

I am from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

That syntax is for adding an abstract written in a specific language (greek in this case) to the internal database. It may or may not be used! (See below on how to use it!)
The main language for the thesis is English or Greek?
If it is english, then you need to add to Config/5_packages.tex the following:
\abstractorder(en):={en,gr} % or \abstractorder(en):={gr,en}I am from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Would you like some help with the thesis cover and other settings/regulations?
Yes it would be great if you can help me with that. The cover should be something like that
I will do the cover it next week.
Still working on the details to support Greek properly.
Are there any other regulations? Margins? Figure/table numbering? etc.
Is there a document (in english) with such regulations?
@mkiatos can you please answer to te question above?
Also, can you send me links to to a few PhD thesis and MSc dissertations from your school/department/…? So that I can understand how the documents look like!
@mkiatos
Just for reference, there is already some basic support for Greek in version 7 of the template, but further validation is needed.
Due to the lack of support from your side, I'm going to close this issue.
If you are still interested, please let me know (or reopen the issue). Thanks.
