From bc0a11f5e03adff0a30f9dae6ea90eaafa06d605 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Williams Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 11:59:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cs capitalise date abbr_month_names, day_names, month_names Whilst it is correct that Czech (cs) does not capitalise day or month names appearing in the middle of a sentence, there is a choice when it comes to abbreviated or full days or months appearing on their own, in a menu or chart, etc. `date.abbr_day_names` used initial capitals, but `date.abbr_month_names`, `date.day_names`, `date.month_names` did not. Whichever style is used should likely be standardised, particularly between `date.abbr_day_names` and `date.abbr_month_names`. The translations for Slovak (sk), a close language in the same family with similar (but by no means identical) grammar, use initial capitals for all these day and month translations. Standardise these day and month translations to use initial capitals. Note I am not a native Czech speaker. However, I work a lot with multilingual translations, and checked this matter with a professional native Czech translator working for me. Their opinion was that both initial capital and lowercase translations are acceptable, but that an initial capital was more common and felt more natural. I also checked this with a native Slovak speaker who is also fluent in Czech, and they had the same opinion.
