803952 - l10n strings: be consistent in usage of uppercase and lowercase

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Sometimes, subjects start with uppercase, sometimes with lowercase. This should be consistent.

E.g.
message-search-input.placeholder=Search Mail
message-search-cancel-accessible=cancel search

messages-syncing=Loading messages
messages-sync-more=Load more messages from server
messages-folder-empty=No Mail in this Folder
messages-folder-select=Select folder

message-contact-menu-view=View contact

"No Mail in this Folder" has two subjects starting with uppercase and Mail is here not the name of the app.

Fixed in string freeze, I believe.

Still not fixed as I can still reproduce this bug

[UX-P3] Though the strings are inconsistant the app is still usable. However should be a simple fix with low risk, therefore we should be able to do this for V1.

This was fixed by bug 812977 with this commit:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/6485/files

It's very possible things are inconsistent, but since Matej did a fix-up pass and he is the king of strings and we don't have a formal style guide (like Strunk & White, etc.), I think we should close this until someone provides an explicit list of required changes or UX provides rules/links to rules.

Agreed Andrew. 
Any guidance on this should come from Visual Design not Interaction Design as they drive detail on Font style / treatment etc. Therefore I am going to contact Steve (visual design lead) to provide a PoV on the matter. We will open up a new bug (referencing this one) if he or a member of his team provides the necessary detail.

The casing for the text in email's subject line is now being displayed correctly.
