[Tex/LaTex] Greek language issue with moderncv in Lyx

greeklyxmoderncv

I am using Lyx in order to write my CV but i have an issue with Greek language.

I fill the entries like name/family name/adress/tel/mobile/email in Greek from Lyx's preamble but the email must be (for obvious reasons) in english although i dont know how to do that.

I attach a screenshot from the compiled pdf and my lyx's preamble in order to understand my issue.

enter image description here

As you can see at the compiled pdf the email is with greek characters instead of latin .. Any ideas how to fix this ? I want only the email to be with latin characters, all others entries i want them to stay in Greek..

ps: I am a mac os user

Another setting that helps with switching from one language to another in Lyx is to use the Text style dialog. So highlight the text that is in the Greek language, click the toolbar button:

Text style button

and then select Greek from the Language drop-down menu: Text style dialog

You can try the Artemisia font of the Greek Font Society:

\documentclass[12pt,nonatbib,english,polutonikogreek,francais]{ulthese}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{textalpha}
\usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}
\usepackage{microtype}
\chapterstyle{southall}
\setsecheadstyle{\Large\mdseries}
\setsubsecheadstyle{\large\mdseries}
\setsubsubsecheadstyle{\mdseries\scshape}

\usepackage[unicode]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,allcolors=ULlinkcolor}
\frenchbsetup{%
  CompactItemize=false,
  ThinSpaceInFrenchNumbers=true
}

%%% Patch \greektext to use Artemisia
\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchcmd{\greektext}
  {\selectfont}
  {\fontfamily{artemisia}\selectfont}
  {}{}

\chapter{Introduction à la \textgreek{φύσις} et autres}

Pour les Grecs, la \textgreek{φύσις} a plusieurs sens.
D’ailleurs, c’est le cas de plusieurs mots.

\begin{otherlanguage}{polutonikogreek}
σύμψηφός σοί εἰμι, ἔφη, τούτου τοῦ νόμου, καί μοι ἀρέσκει.
\end{otherlanguage}

You can't put the language switch in the \email command as its argument is used for a link. But you can inject it in the symbol before the link:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}                 
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\name{Sonoma}{'epithet}
\title{Biografik'o Shme'iwma} 
\address{dress,tk}{}{}% 
\email{myname@hotmail.co.uk}                
\homepage{www.myname.webs.com}              
\moderncvstyle{banking}  
\usepackage{xpatch}
\xapptocmd\emailsymbol{\selectlanguage{english}}{}{}
\xapptocmd\homepagesymbol{\selectlanguage{english}}{}{}
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\end{document}
