Yes, this is the OP's problem. Maybe it should rather be named: words
using written with Latin letters in a Greek document.
The OP writes Greek using a Greek keyboard, so the conversion of Latin
letters via transliteration is an unwanted and unexpected effect.

But this is just one side. A filename, a C command or some Acronym in a
Greek document do not gain from beeing marked as another language but
still should keep Latin letters as such!
I see room for both, Greek with transliteration of Latin input (for
the occasional Greek quote in a non-Greek document) and Greek with
Unicode input (where Latin characters remain Latin).
Instead of 4 Greek language variants to care for the combinations:
monotoniko polutoniko
transliteration 1 2
Unicode 3 4
I suggest a GreekUnicode Module.
