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).

Here are several resources I’ve found on guidelines for capitalization of UI elements:

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).as...
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
