I am using XeLaTeX with the memoir class and Greek text and I would like to change the chapter title to be uppercase instead of lowercase

I have this

\chapter{Αποτελεσματικότητα του Ανταγωνιστικού Υποδείγματος}

and I get this

Κεφάλαιο 1 Αποτελεσματικότητα...

Instead, I would like to get this

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟ 1 Αποτελεσματικότητα

Following the suggestion in How to change the name of document elements like "Figure", "Contents", "Bibliography", "Appendix", etc.?, you need to add the new \chaptername to the greek captions using

\addto\captionsgreek{\renewcommand*{\chaptername}{KEFALAIO}}

Here is a minimal example showing the adjustment:

enter image description here

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage[greek]{babel}
\addto\captionsgreek{\renewcommand*{\chaptername}{KEFALAIO}}

\begin{document}

\chapter{abc}

\end{document}

Alternatively, without the above approach, a delayed \renewcommand also suffices:

\AtBeginDocument{%
  \renewcommand*{\chaptername}{\textKappa \textEpsilon \textPhi \textAlpha \textLambda \textAlpha \textIota \textOmicron}}

  • First solutuion did not work (i use polyglossia package because of zelatex, not babel, if that's the reason), The alternative worked fine, thank u – S.M Nov 10 '14 at 19:22

    @SofiaMouseti, such details are quite important to include in the original question. Along with a minimal example. – daleif Nov 10 '14 at 19:31
