Hi all!
A have a question about the capitalization used in menus, etc. Is there any restriction for us, translators, to use our own standard? (eg. without capitalize the first letter - "Save As" -> "Save as"(translated of course)).
My opinion is, that you should translate everything the most suitable way for your particular language.
Save As... > Guardar como...
That's what we are doing in Spanish: we use the rules of our language. Other teams do the same; the Spanish KDE team, for instance, has an explanation of this practice in their web, why should not capitalize English Style.
Well, the Portuguese team is leaving them as they are - capitalized. However, I never liked it because in some long sentences this capitalization style looks awful. Maybe for >= 11.1 we will change this... -- Regards, Carlos Goncalves --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
