Make clear whether you are referring to the statistical region (EL6) or wider geographical area of Κεντρική Ελλάδα (Kentriki Ellada) (NUTS regions, when referred to as such, are not translated), or to Στερεά Ελλάδα (Sterea Ellada), which is more likely to be referred to as an administrative region (περιφέρεια). One solution would be to use the English translation, followed by a transliteration of the Greek name in brackets: Central Greece (Kentriki Ellada) / Central Greece (Sterea Ellada).
