Can I use others languages when writing on latex

Does matlab support any other language except english when writing on latex?

for example in latex you can use this command to change language: \selectlanguage{greek}

I want to change labels in a figure for example:

xlabel('$Γειά$','Interpreter','latex','FontSize',45)

I know I can try this:

xlabel('$\Gamma\epsilon\iota\alpha$','Interpreter','latex','FontSize',45)

but some letters cant be caps in greek in matlab,

also I cant do that: ά.

S = '$$\Gamma \quad \epsilon \quad \iota \quad \acute{\alpha}$$';
xlabel(S, 'interpreter', 'latex', 'FontSize', 45) % remove \quad if you don’t want space inbetween them

Unfortunately with latex you can only get the symbols, not the Greek letters such as Γ

Perhaps using Tex instead of Latex would work for you?

I was able to make the capital Gamma. I get the output as:

Γ is char(915), U+0393, https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0393/index.htm Greek Capital Letter Gamma, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma . This is not the same as Γ for writing purposes -- the hook makes a difference.

Yes I noticed that , however in the documentation https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/greek-letters-and-special-characters-in-graph-text.html#bux4rpf

You think that with appropriate font selection that Γ might show up properly? Hmmm... perhaps.

Sorry sir Walter , I don't know if it's a rhetorical question :(. But this case makes me so curious on how to overcome it xD. That's all I could come up with after making so many research.
