Yes, as others have written, they would be capitalized. The German translation would be: "John nahm das Glas Wasser und stellte es auf den Tisch"
Any other way would simply be incorrect. So I don't like it, that only because this filter would work for the English language, that it should be used. It would make e.g. German incorrect in the database.
The filter doesn't even work for English. It only works half way because English rating details usually don't feature proper names. But already with the letter code of TV ratings (e.g. TV-PG DLS) the result is ugly. Another reason we should have used the actual words for the details. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Filter could be expanded to leave those possible rating lettre combinations through?
And then the filter could be expanded to recognise German nouns and English proper names as well. I have yet to see a Ratings Detail that included a 'proper noun'...nor do I see why it would. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I personally think no filter at all on this field and it should be as credited on the case/in the credits/Official Site you get it from. But that is me.
I personally think that we could have a formatting rule (e.g. sentence formatting) which could work all over the world. And I don't think that we have to enforce this rule with a filter. The contribution system will do. This was my suggestion as well but, as you can tell, it was rejected. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

This was my suggestion as well but, as you can tell, it was rejected. I'm still confident.  Specially since Germany has such a large profiler user base. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

That would be my choice as it keeps the field consistent. Unfortunately the poll in the rules forum is tied between this and just the letters. hopefully where I just posted about this there will be some changing their mind. | | | | Pete |
