      It is actually a thing, called greeklish. It used to be more common/popular during the earlier days of computing/internet due to limited support of the Greek alphabet. It remained popular even later on and even today but i feel it is getting less popular nowadays.

      Google translate supports greeklish, you can select Greek and type greeklish and it will work.

    There’s also the fact that in Finnish it’s properly ihmissyöjä (personeater or some such). Kannibaali is quite used loan word but we do have our own.
