Capitalization

There are major differences regarding capitalization rules between English and French, but the influence of English tends to make these rules very porous.

CONSTANTS

These are the rules to always be followed :

• Always use capitalized accents: É, È, Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û, Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, À, Æ

• Be consistent. Whether a specific guideline for the project has been provided or not, stay consistent with the rules as set.

When to capitalize

• Proper nouns. When these nouns include non-proper nouns, such as adjectives, only capitalize them if they are a unique identifier of a location or character.

• The first letter of a specific item or event when it makes sense (for instance, in quest descriptions).

• Every single word in a title, UI or others.
• Gaming words that tend to be capitalized in English: "Season", "Event", "Giftpack", etc...
• Every single word in the name of an item.
• A common character or location (see "Mine d'or naine" above) where it is one location among many, of no specific importance.
• Adjectives for nationalities or people (unless determined otherwise), the months of a year, as per classic French rules.
