Book: Capitalizing - outside USA

[RandiH]

Thank you for great software!

I´m trying to make good Book-reports in Reunion, but have met some small issues.

In Norway and other countries outside USA we don´t write words with its first letter as a capital letter (upper-case letter), except if it´s a name or the first letter in the sentence. When the reports in Reunion use capitalization in headings / titles like for instance "Third Generation" this is pretty odd when it´s translated to norwegian. We would write "Tredje generasjon", and not under any circumstance "Tredje Generasjon" with a capital G. The person that translates Reunion to norwegian told that he wasn´t able to change this himself - so maybe this is something that the developers has to fix?

That should be no problem.
Look at the samples op book in Dutch localization

Thank you! Do you know where this can be changed? Is it me or the person that translates into norwegian that has to do it?

This must be done also in the resMinder strings.

Actually, it is not just in other languages, Brits don't capitalise like Americans either [except in ransom notes and sometimes in newspaper headlines].

The s/z spelling gets looked after by localised spell checkers, but there are other quirks like fewer full points and the need for commas after family names when one adds a list of honours.

We have had to give up on founts for fonts since Adobe appeared over here, but otherwise we continue in our funny old ways.
