So, I have already written my document (which is more than 50 pages if I
remember well) in which the majority is Greek text but there is a _not_
so small part of english (commands and command outputs) spreaded all
over the document. So I don't think anybody (from the perspective of an
end-user), would sit-down and mark&(re)define the text (no matter if
seeting the language to Greek and marking English or the opposite).

Well, you might say that this is my mistake. Accepted. But I don't see
this as an option now.

Redefining only the \xxxxxnames is enough for me. It works.

Well, I might need to re-define the "Cross-references" as well. (BTW,
can I re-define the cross-references the same way I did with the
others?).

In future I will be more careful now that I know that and I'll act
accordingly.

I didn't try that. I'll try it at some point-out.
