But I would like to see it the same way as we do it with accents: Simply add what you see. No further knowledge needed.

Sorry, we do not ignore accents in title case conversion. We do it solely for people's names for linking purposes. For titles  as well as overviews, we use the correct capitalisation rules.

This would be OK if when we see A we add A. That is "add what you see". But when you change the case, you do not add what you see, and A may mean à.

Sorry, if I sounded wrong. Of course I didn't mean to ignore it now with the current ruling. I said  this would be what I'd like too see: One ruling for the whole change from all caps to mixed case. No differences for titles, actors, overviews.

Also here a sorry*, if I wasn't complete enough. With add what you see I mean add what you see with case change.
Just without transforming letters, so no SS to ß or A to á, ...

Edit:*Seems I had a bad evening for writting understandable.

But when you change E to e, if E=é, you do transform letter. Is it so complicated to understand that E is not always e? E is always E, but E is e or é, or è, or ê, and you cannot choose. You are obliged by spelling rules to use the correct one, or you do make a transformation, exactly as if you transform T to d (that is generally called a "spelling mistake"). That so simple that it is amazing that I have to repeat that once again.

I was speaking for DVDP purpose. And yes for an easy and consistant way i could live with added spelling mistakes.

If I change E to é, I add something I don't see. Or If I change ss to ß. Or AE to Ä. This is what I mean with transforming.

Agreed for real life, but Profiler-Land has different rules. That's not complicated, that's easy.
It may be against the personal preference of many users, but not the 100th forum post will change Ken's rules. Write a support ticket, maybe he is interested. And if not... then it is still easy, not complicated. E = e
