Adolfo: thought you might have some opinion here.

I think that "Cambiar uso de mayúsculas  Mayús+F3" it's OK.

I miss the notion of the iterative action here.

I mean, «Cycle case» goes through a loop of actions (Aaa → AAA → aaa → Aaa...):

action 1 → action 2 → action 3 → action 1 → action 2 → action 3 (and so on)

In Spanish that nuance is hard to describe with just one word (maybe "Iterar cambio de mayúsculas"). 

Note sure what other Spanish speaking users think.

The term exists, it is straigtforward and understandable, and while I agree that it is not common, I trust that its usage will increase as people get exposed to it.

It is an explicit choice not to circumlocute the translation of “case” (in the past, we already used what is being proposed here), but we ran into many layout issues with dialogs, and if I attempted to abbreviate, I got complains for that too (the most recent was, “why did I dared to abbreviate ‘barra de herramientas’ into ‘barra de htas.’ for ‘toolbar’?!?!”). It is for this reason that I will stick with “mayusculación” for now.

On the other hand, I will integrate “iterar” to the Spanish glossary; it elegantly solves the issue of connoting the idea of going through a cycle of actions. Thanks for the suggestion — I’ll gradually integrate it in other places. (Back then, I was thinking of translating this “Cycle Case” string using the verb “recorrer”, but thought “alternar entre” had a clearer intent.)

Adolfo, I have to disagree.

The term «mayusculación» or «mayuscular» (verb) is not a valid word in Spanish.
My guess is that for most Spanish (es_ES) speaking users it sounds ugly and not easy to understand.

Not even authorized by the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) nor any other recognized language institution, at least to my knowledge.

While still thinking the best way to translate «Cycle case» I'd prefer changing the translation to simply «Cambiar mayúsculas».

1) DLE doesn’t include every possible inflection, 2) RAE doesn’t have authority to create and stamp words as “valid” — that role died out centuries ago. It is a descriptive dictionary, not a prescriptive one.

Again, I have to disagree.

RAE is authority for any Spanish speaking user, which have to stick to their norms and usage.

This is not about inflections or such; the term your are promoting it simply does not exist in any Spanish dialect nor regional varieties, not nowadays. 

It's a fancy one.

I agree.

In fact, that was the last «good» translation before the recent change:

You misunderstand RAE’s role in a fundamental level, but it’s not my job to educate you on that.

I'm afraid the bug is still valid.
The term «mayusculación» is not a recognized nor a valid word in Spanish.

Thus, reopening.
