Can someone help me with this? I am really new to Latex and this really frustrates me

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[top=2.54cm, bottom=2.54cm, left=1.91cm, right=1.91cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textgreek}
\babeltags{en = english}
\begin{document}
\title{Δισκόμορφοι Υγροί Κρύσταλλοι}
\author{Θεοδωρίδης Αθανάσιος}
\maketitle
\section*{1. Εισαγωγή}
Η μελέτη των υγρών κρυστάλλων ξεκίνησε το 1888 από τον βοτανολόγο \en{Friedrich Reinitzer} , ο οποίος εξέταζε τις ιδιότητες διαφόρων παραγώγων χοληστερίνης, και παρατήρησε την αλλαγή των ιδιοτήτων τους με την μεταβολή της θερμοκρασίας.

    Don't show screenshots of code. We can't copy & paste them to test the issue. – Ulrike Fischer May 11 '18 at 13:42
  • sorry i will post the text then – Thanos May 11 '18 at 13:43
  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Does \usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc} help? Please include your code as copy-and-paste-able text in your question. An image is not searchable for text and we don't have to re-type its contents. – moewe May 11 '18 at 13:43
  • Hello! I've tried adding LGR but still the same problem – Thanos May 11 '18 at 13:46
  • \en seems to be a switch and not a macro. Try {\en Friedrich Reinitzer} and not \en{Friedrich Reinitzer}. Edit according to the babel documentation \texten{Friedrich Reinitzer} (with text) is preferred. – moewe May 11 '18 at 13:48
  • Thank you!!! this seems to have fixed this! Also I tried the \begin{en} \end{en} command and it works too! – Thanos May 11 '18 at 13:50

    But I would not use the environment form of \begin{en}...\end{en} for two words. – moewe May 11 '18 at 13:51
  • Yes of course since you showed me a better route! Thanks again! – Thanos May 11 '18 at 13:52

    BTW: I don't think you need \usepackage{textgreek} if you type Greek directly and don't use \textalpha etc. – moewe May 11 '18 at 13:59
  • Ideally you'd use \section{Εισαγωγή} instead of \section*{1. Εισαγωγή}. That way TeX does the counting and numbering of the sections for you. If you want the dot back, have a look at https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/24439/35864 – moewe May 11 '18 at 14:28

The documentation of the \babeltags command in the babel manual says (emphasis mine)

\babeltags{<tag1>=<language1>, <tag2>=<language2>, ...}

In multilingual documents with many language switches the commands above can be cumbersome. With this tool shorter names can be defined. It adds nothing really new – it is just syntactical sugar.

It defines \text<tag1>{<text>} to be \foreignlanguage{<language1>}{<text>}, and \begin{<tag1>} to be \begin{otherlanguage*}{<language1>}, and so on. Note \<tag1> is also allowed, but remember to set it locally inside a group.

This means that \en acts like a switch and not a macro. You want

\texten{Friedrich Reinitzer}

or {\en Friedrich Reinitzer} instead of \en{Friedrich Reinitzer}
