Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Cosmetic changes? (was Workflow based on master)

True but what gets my goat is that many of these are *totally* 
arbitrary. Case in point, sentence case vs title case. Unfortunately 
this debate comes at a time when Microsoft has gone *exactly* 180° the 
other way (going forward) compared to LibreOffice. So that makes it 
arbitrary.

That's even without considering the fact that Nagari, CJK and so on 
don't even have case...

If Gaelic has to implement a change in convention then I implement that 
without affecting 100 locales. Would be nice if the source for projects 
like LO worked the same way because whether English uses formatted or 
unformatted quotes or sentence vs title case does not affect how the 
other 100 locales localizer. That's not disregard for conventions. It's 
disregard to the time I donate as a localizer.
