I am writing in english, greek babel and I have custom commands to change between languages. The problem is that I can change to english for example, anywhere in my text except in \chapter{}, \section{} etc. How can I use different languages in section titles?

This doesn't work:

\section{Παράδειγμα \eng{Something}}

I don't want to use XeLaTeX.

Use \protect to prevent too early expansion in moving arguments such as in titles:

\section{Παράδειγμα \protect\eng{Something}}

Moving means here, that the titles will be copied to the table of contents as well. They should do that in their original version, not expanded, that's why the \protect.

Furthermore, you could might distinguishing betweeen TOC and heading title and title in running text, depending on the needs, such as

\section[Παράδειγμα]{Παράδειγμα \protect\eng{Something}}

  • I found a better way, because the above will have problem in table of contents. Alternative: \subsection{\texorpdfstring{Το Αισθητήριο Όργανο \eng{Golgi}}{}}

    @JimStanev Sure, it's a way for hyperref, just hyperref wasn't mentioned at all.
