Set the locale to greek. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale

Some packages have language packs (e.g. libreoffice-el, firefox-i18n-el).

I don't want to make you nervous but i can't understand these lines:

Setting per user locale

As we mentioned earlier, some users might want to define a different locale than the system-wide locale. To do this, export the variable LANG with the specified locale in the ~/.bashrc file. For example, to use the en_AU.UTF-8 locale:

export LANG=en_AU.UTF-8

The locales will be updated next time ~/.bashrc is sourced. To update, either re-login or source it manually:

$ source ~/.bashrc

Setting collation

Collation, or sorting, is a little different. Sorting is a goofy beast and different locales do things differently. To get around potential issues, Arch used to set LC_COLLATE="C" in /etc/profile. However, this method is now deprecated. To enable this behavior, simply add the following to ~/.bashrc:

export LC_COLLATE="C"

Now the ls command will sort dotfiles first, followed by uppercase and lowercase filenames. Note that without a LC_COLLATE setting, locale aware apps sort by LC_ALL or LOCALE, but LC_COLLATE settings will be overridden if LC_ALL is set. To resolve this, add the following to your instead:

export LC_ALL=
export LC_COLLATE="C"

The language isn't Greek and in terminal it shows me this for letters on when a process is on but in Language it has Unspecified [ANSI_X3.4-1968] and when i + Greek, Modern (1453-) i leave, i come back again and it's only the unspecified chosen. Help.
