I'm also against this all lower case rule. But, no the rule has not changed recently and will not change as a small step. I don't want to have non consistent GUI in dt, this will be very bad ! The only solution out of this is: - To create a script to rewrite all strings in the code with

Hi all, as already informed we have introduced capital letters at the beginning of sentences in order to match Italian language rules. Yesterday I revised again the .po file in order to bring back all lower case in MODULES NAMES only. Since dt3 can let you search by modules (and this field is case

Hi, It is difficult to say that it is a "rule". In French, for instance, the uppercase at the beginning of a sentence is "orthographic". This means that the lack of such an uppercase letter violates an orthographic rule. It is the same, BTW (and in French), for the diacritics on uppercase letters.

Hi, FWIW, this "rule" doesn't work nearly as well for all languages as for English (and even there it's arguable practice). E.g. since all nouns in German should be capitalized according to language authorities, wouldn't using all-lowercase in dt effectively make the German translation incorrect?
