Don't use text as the name of your variable. That is reserved for a built in function of the same name. If you do use that name, you'll destroy the built in function. Call it something like listOfLanguages or languangeMenu or something more descriptive like that.

text={t1; t2; t3; t4};
save Matfiletext text

%You can't concatenate vertically t1 and t2, because their size are different, but it's possible in cell array

%to get t1 and t2 use

t1=text{1}
t2=text{2}

% Or you can use

t1='J for Java';
t2='M for Matlab'; 
t3='C for cobol'; 
t4='F for FORTRAN';
text=char(t1,t2,t3,t4)

%to get t1 use

t1=strtrim(text(1,:))
