Details

Irish has unusual rules for capitalization so that using a smallcaps font breaks several translations. For example, on the stage site http://input.stage.mozilla.com/ga-IE/release/ I've translated "Average Ratings Over Time" as "Meánrátáil Le hImeacht Ama" (note the small "h" before the big "I" - this is correct). And when this is typeset in "all caps", as it is on the site, the "h" should be left lowercase: "MEÁNRÁTÁIL LE hIMEACHT AMA". But the best solution in all cases would be to just use a font that maintains the uppercase/lowercase distinctions that I give in the translations. This is best practice on any localized site. Another example is on the "Broken Sites" page; I have "Suímh as an ngnáth" for "Uncommon Sites". In caps this would be "Suímh As An nGnáth" or "SUÍMH AS AN nGNÁTH". Scottish Gaelic has the same behavior, and I recall Greek had similar issues with the Web O Wonder site.
This string is now gone from the Input site, closing.
