Description David Martí 2011-05-27 23:43:52 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

In Spanish, month and weekday names shouldn't be written in uppercase, but they are in the current translation.

Reproducible: Always

Bump? Close to a year's anniversary of this bug... I'd do the changes, but I need approval from the rest of the translation team.

Well, it's true that month & weekday names shouldn't be written capitalized in Spanish, but only when they appear in the middle of a sentence. When they appear isolated (as in column headers) or at the beginning of a sentence, they should begin with uppercase.

IMHO this bug report conceals a subtle issue: as month & weekday names only appear isolated in PO files and they are used everywhere (isolated or in the middle of a sentence), it's really hard to detect when the first letter should go in uppercase or in lowercase. Maybe a bit of Transcript in PO files would do the magic.

Closing this longstanding bug because I can't find month and weekday names in uppercase in today translations.
