Strange indeed... I suppose that Google considers capitalisation of the
word after 'asante' to mean its a noun that should not be changed.

`asante sana` gives `thank you very much` (which is the correct translation)

`Asante sana & asante Sana` gives `thank you` (which is really Asante
without the translation of 'sana', very much)

`Asante Sana` gives `Asante Sana`, which could mean Google considers this
to be a name. It could be used as a name. may need intelligence to detect
when its a name in use

`ASANTE SANA` gives `Thank you very` an incomplete translation. The sana
does not get fully translated

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a
million chances happen 99% of the time.
