| | Posted: | | | | For clarification:
Just as with titles, when having to alter cast or crew because they are listed in all capitals, use capitialization rules standard to the language of the cast/crew member's name or nationality.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the clarification. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

| | Posted: | | | | Is that in line with the common name rule? - Don't think so...
eg. De Niro vs. de Niro

eg. De Niro vs. de Niro Yes it is; As Credited: ROBERT DE NIRO (Language: English, Nationality: USA), Common Name: Robert De Niro. If it was ROBERTO DENIRO (Language: Italian, Nationality: Italy), it would be Roberto DeNiro. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | Keep in mind folks, this only comes into play when the credits are all capitalized. If they are not capitalized then no changes to the credits are expected. In addition, it applies to only capitalization rules, so adding tildes and accents are not the intent here unless it is affected by the capitalization.

-Gerri See, you're not specific enough here. Some users argue that "standard capitalization rules" for french names allows to decapitalize(?) an E into é because the opposite is often done when converting to all caps é->E. I have no opinion on this but your "clarification" doesn't help at all, I'm afraid. | | | | - Jan |

No, they can't go changing things willy-nilly...."use capitialization rules standard to the language of the cast/crew member's name or nationality.
Since they want to play the game this way the Unites States is NOT Mexico, France or Germany.

Since they want to play the game this way the Unites States is NOT Mexico, France or Germany. It doesn't matter if it's the US or not. It's not about the locality of the DVD, it's about the language of the cast/crew member's name or nationality. And if that person is mexican, then his/her name is to be capitalized according to the mexican-spanish language rules. | | | Karsten
