Description phv 2021-10-29 20:57:52 UTC
A quick look in the customization tool confirms that a few commands have been added with a missing capitalization title. I haven't found any guide about the writing style used in the LibreOffice suite; I therefore applied some kind of consistency. I also want to make it clear that there is no good or bad style guide, but it's important for the team in charge of the design or the UI to define rules (which preposition should be capitalized, how to capitalize when a noun or an adjectif is hyphenated, etc.). I look forward to your feedback, thank you!

"Lowercase" should stay "lowercase" as "Uppercase" command is written "UPPERCASE", and "Toggle Case" is written "tOGGLE cAse". Although I don't really like it when the writing is supposed to illustrate a function.

UX-team, we need your opinion

-1 from me, btw
Comment 3 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2021-10-30 19:51:59 UTC
In our style of Title Capitalization, we do not capitalize the second element of hyphenated terms. The rest should; please provide a patch.

First, thank you for your answer.
This removes some elements but adds others:

Sorry, I'm not qualified-enough to write a patch and I have concern about adding more bugs by doing so. Moreover, I didn't have a look at the labels in the other LibreOffice softwares. Still, I'm at the disposal of whoever would like a more extensive list, which of course should be checked by the proper service before being submitted.

My report followed the reading of a similar remark in bug #145109.

Here are guidelines [1] and there [2] how to fix such an issue. In a nutshell: it depends on the context whether a string is a title or not. For example .uno:ClassificationApply and .uno:ClassificationDialog in [3]. 

So to make this report an actionable ticket I suggest to list only those strings that need action. Shouldn't be too many since we continuously improve here.

As a translator I'd also like to ask whoever finally act on this issue to synchronize the changes with the start of a development cycle.  For example, right now is a bad time for such (mostly) cosmetic changes, it's better to wait a month until 7.3 is branched and master is for 7.4 development.  This way translators can concentrate on more important missing translations before the 7.3 release.

If a single opinion from me is not enough, one can ask the l10n mailing list l10n@global.libreoffice.org for a wider consensus.

Needinfo for several month now. Terminology is continuously improved and the few items that need action should be picked up.
Comment 8 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2022-01-31 17:35:19 UTC
I’ll take it
