Hello all,

In LibreOffice, the programming language BASIC is mostly written as "Basic". This is a source of some confusion for translators (and I imagine many English-speaking users, too) as it's not always clear whether "Basic" should be interpreted as "basic" (a normal English word) or "BASIC" (the programming language).

Is there any particular reason for the current convention? Microsoft seems to be doing the same, but I don't know if that's a good enough reason for perpetuating the confusion.

Cheers,
Tuomas
