First and most important: yes our fonts used in Enigma do support Greek 
characters :-)

The language/country code is "el-GR". The file needs to be named "el.po".

You find further hints in previous postings on this list, e.g.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/enigma-devel/2006-10/msg00031.html

Please start with a up to date po-File as of the development trunk. 
Whatever tools you use make sure you stick to utf-8 encoding.

Start with the menus and translate the levels afterwards. Send the po 
file directly to me when it reasonably complete.

Thanks for any additional translation,

Ronald
