It is not allowable, by academic standards. If one quotes from
someone's translation, it must be quoted as printed, or each change
must be footnoted. If you italicise some words to draw attention to
the ones you are going to discuss, you put in the attribution (my
emphasis) or (emphasis added). If a translation reads "the One whom"
and this capitalisation seems incorrect, it would be cited as "the
[o]ne whom..." In short, you cannot change anything in a citation
without warning the readers that something has been changed. This is
a matter of academic standards, not Bahai rules
If quoting Persian or Arabic, there are no capital letters. There is
often punctuation added to typeset versions of texts, and the same
applies as above.
