• Set main language in main.tex:

  \setmainlanguage{greek}
  \setotherlanguage{english}

• Switch mid-document:

  \selectlanguage{english}

\begin{description}
    \acitem{LP}{Linear Programming}
    \acitem{CPU}{Central Processing Unit}
    \acitem{AI}{Artificial Intelligence}
\end{description}

The settings.sty file contains many customisation options for language shortcuts, TikZ styles, and code appearance.

Example — changing code appearance (uses minted):

\newenvironment{codeblock}[1]{%
  \selectlanguage{english}
  \minted[
    fontsize=\small,
    linenos=true,
    breaklines,
    frame=single,
    framerule=0.05pt,
    framesep=4mm,
    bgcolor=white!5,
    tabsize=2
  ]{#1}%
}{\endminted}

Modify these parameters to adjust font size, line numbering, frame, background color, etc.
