The relevant message in /var/log/syslog is:

Apr 20 14:03:45 user-laptop pulseaudio[1661]: [pulseaudio] module.c:
Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="0" name
="pci-0000_00_1b.0" card_name="alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0"
namereg_fail=false tsched=ναι fixed_latency_range=όχι ignore_dB=όχι
deferred_volume=ναι use_ucm=ναι card_properties="module-udev-
detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.

What is says here is that "insmod" (or similar) was called with
parameters like "tsched=ναι", and failed.

"git blame" says:
d806b197 src/pulsecore/core-util.h (poljar (Damir Jelić) 2013-06-27 19:28:09 +0200  92) static inline const char *pa_yes_no(bool b) {
cd13fb36 src/pulsecore/core-util.h (Tanu Kaskinen        2014-03-24 09:17:53 +0200  93)     return b ? _("yes") : _("no");

which means that about a year ago a change was made to make yes/no
localisable.

A quick fix is to make pa_yes_no() non-localisable again.

** Patch added: "Make pa_yes_no() non-localisable."

Title:
  Pulseaudio fails to run when system's language is in Greek

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Changing the System Language in Greek resulted in the corruption of
  the sound in the entire system. This happened when the latest updates
  applied and after a reboot.

  I have attempted a new installation in Greek getting the latest ISO
  image and the problem exists there as well.

  If I go back (turn the system) to the English Language and reboot the
  problem disappears.

  I have also tested another Language (Russian Localization) but the
  problem does not occur.

  How to reproduce: 
  Apply the latest updates and install the Greek language packages (language-pack-el , language-pack-el-base). 
  Choose Greek as the system's language and reboot.
