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. |

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. |

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. 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. | | | Last edited: by VirusPil |

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. | | | Images from movies | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

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. |

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 | | | Last edited: by SpaceFreakMicha |
