Actually, there should not be any case conversion at all for hadings in the
navbar. Capitals are may be preferred in English, mandatory for nouns in
German, but undesirable in French (where titlecase is almost NEVER wanted), if
they are part of a list of items (only the title of the navbar may capitalize
ONLY the first letter of the first word).
The correct capitalization should never be enforced by style, but only from the
per-language tranlations.
The same is true about language names: no capitals at all in French, capitals
almost always in English, except some African language names using prefixes
like "isiXhosa" where the capital is moved forward to the first letter of the
main radical).
Never assume any English-only style. They are not desirable in many languages.
Each language has its own preferences and conventions, sometimes very strong
grammatically and semantically.
