In Slovenian, for example, it has its own naming (krmilka for Ctrl), and it is written with small capital letter. So when this modifier lands at the start of the sentence, the sentence will start with small letter, although as being the first word in a sentence it should start with a capital letter. Here is an example how cases make your solution unuseful (from Slovenian; string uikxZ): Hold down %MOD1 and turn the mouse wheel to change the zoom factor. - Translation would be: - Držite pritisnjeno %MOD1 in zavrtite kolesce miške, da spremenite faktor povečave. - if %MOD1 would become "krmilka", localized sentence would read: - Držite pritisnjeno krmilka in zavrtite kolesce miške, da spremenite faktor povečave. - But that is wrong, as the key "krmilka" should be in the 4th case and should read "krmilko", so this is the desired result which this kind of code cannot generate: - Držite pritisnjeno krmilko in zavrtite kolesce miške, da spremenite faktor povečave. I wonder what other issues might arise with other languages...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
