Geany cannot read Greek
I want to help translation of Freebsd handbook on Greek but i cannot read the already translated texts!
I don't want to put
Code: 
export LANG="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
export LC_CTYPE="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
on my .xinitrc file because this translates everything on Greek!
My programs etc. For example Opera is not saying "File" "Edit" etc. Says "Αρχείο" "Eπεξεργασία" etc
Any ideas just to have my system the ability to recognize greek but not translate all my system on Greek?
 
Just prefix the needed environment variables to the geany command line you use. Something like this:
$ LANG="el_GR.ISO8859-7" LC_CTYPE="el_GR.ISO8859-7" LC_COLLATE="el_GR.ISO8859-7" geany...
You can put it into a script if you like.

That could be a good idea :)
How to learn to write my own scripts? What language is exactly a script?
For example .xinitrc.

Without looking I'd guess that xinit(1) uses #!/bin/sh for most everything.

What I do for stuff like above is ([red]warning! vorsicht! Опасно![/red] I am a bufoon and clumsy, good Lord, man, don't take my word for it here, read!) something akin to:
[cmd=""]mkdir ~/scripts && echo '#\!/bin/sh \
LANG=\"el_GR.ISO8859-7\" LC_CTYPE=\"el_GR.ISO8859-7\" LC_COLLATE=\"el_GR.ISO8859-7\" geany' >> scripts/hellenicgeany && chmod u+x scripts/hellenicgeany[/cmd]

Then you just start it from the command line like [cmd=""]./scripts/hellenicgeany[/cmd]
 
well even
Code: 
$ LANG="el_GR.ISO8859-7" LC_CTYPE="el_GR.ISO8859-7" LC_COLLATE="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
worked because when i put it on .xinitrc just for test, everything worked expect geany. On mousepad & nedit, i had greek but on geany no
