Re: [mantisbt-lang] Case of translations

[Siebrand M. <s.m...@xs...>]

Hi Jorge

The style depends on your preference and also on your language. Title Case is used in some software programs, but not in all in English. In Dutch, for example, its use is rare.

I do not know what it is like in Spanish. As a native Dutch speaker, I would have made the same correction for Dutch.

The casing rules are in no way mandatory, but usability experiences suggest that one style should be used consistently.

Hope this was helpful, even though not conclusive :).
