I am wondering if your problem might not be related to the fact that 
there are no character set declaration (either UTF-8 or, I belive, 
ISO-8859-7 (those el_GR entries should specify the character set like 
some of the other entries you can see in the same file).

It compares it to the regular expressions in the third line, i.e. words that start with grpolice, or grmyst, or crim or myster and then shows "GRCrime_GRMystery" in mythweb.

Yep, that's how it should work...

It's like it's not processing the right line...

The first thing I would look at is the character set used (does your 
editor tell you). I would try to use UTF-8.

The second thing I could think of, did you edit that file solely on 
Linux/BSD/etc... PC or could it have been edited on a PC that would have 
added CR (ie Windows) that might also confuse it...

Let's see if we can eliminate the possibility of a character set or line 
termination issue first...

Thank you!
