Here are several resources I’ve found on guidelines
for capitalization of
UI elements:
*
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246428(v=vs.85).a…
*
https://developercenter.vmware.com/web/standards/-/capitalization-of-ui-ele…
* https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/writing-style.html.en
*
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Concep…
They all seem to roughly say the same thing…
That one is interesting also:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Headings_and_publication_titles
To go in your direction, "title case" seems to be quite uncommon in
languages other than english (and even US english).
Thanks

Hi devs,
Andrea created an issue about capitalizing button labels (
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11265) and I think it’s a good idea
that we decide some rules about capitalization indeed.
I’ve found this document from MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246428(v=vs.85).a…
I propose to adopt this document’s content as our rule for
Capitalization and to
document that in our dev best practices on
dev.xwiki.org.
Example of labels:
* “Add comment” —> “Add Comment”
* “Reset to default” —> “Reset to Default”
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
