Looks like a pretty common practice indeed (and It's also obvious when
I just look at software I'm using).
I also agree that it simply does not make sense to decide a rule for
all languages. All languages have different rules, that's just how it
is so there is no point in fighting it. There should a written rule
for English that we follow and translators should decide some other
rules language by language and documented on http://l10n.xwiki.org
(and by the way they dud not waited for this discussion to do it).

They all seem to roughly say the same thing…

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
