Hi Vincent!

Are you interested in this feature as an end-user or as a developer, if
I may ask?

I would like to know if there is any dev out there who is interested to
cover this gap and get payed for it (+ having the coding pleasure which
can't be payed)?

If this is possible, it could/would make sense for bilingual documents.

Allow me to add more info on the "issue": today I used "moderncv" and I
did not have to do anything else than just set the "Greek" language for
the document and add the respective lines in the Preamble that take care
name, familyname, address, contact info, etc (I had to use here the
"\textgreek" command though).

If I remember well, I've only set the "english" language for _only_ one
sentence and voila... for the rest of the english words/text, I did not
have to do this again. I also did not care to define "Greek" for the
main part since I've set this up in the Document Settings.

Is the problem solved somehow or am I (again) just too tired and don't
know what I'm doing?

The (only) problem which I face is the use of hyperref. It seems that
there is a bug! The produced links in the pdf don't appear "Greek" (as
they should and the use of the "unicode=true" option does not seem to
work at all. I've spotted some posts WRT hyperref [1][2].

Still, I can't make it work. I'll get various errors when I try to use
stringenc in the Preamble.

Thanks for any help/ interest,
Nikos
