Topic: tool tips in languages other than English

Hello!
I would like to know where I can find eg. Polish equivalents of tool tips texts. I want to change them since the are written in a strange manner, i.e. every word starting with a capital letter: 'Zacznij Autoodtwarzanie' or 'Tryb Pelnoekranowy' instead of 'Zacznij autoodtwarzanie' or 'Tryb pelnoekranowy'.
Will appreciate your help!
Regards,
Wlady

Hi,

you can supply your own custom translation by using the 'languageList' config option.

In English its quite common to use Title Case for tooltips. Is that not good in Polish?

Re: tool tips in languages other than English

Hi, Felix!
   Polish typography differs from the English one, e.g. in book titles only the first word is written with a capital and the same rule should apply to tool tips. Of course, private web sites may be created in the manner suitable for their owner. One can even abstain from using diacritical marks characteristic for many languages although this surely makes reading more difficult, sometimes causing ambiguities in meaning.
   Thanks for your answer. I'm going to give it a try and let you know the results.
