I was talking about the specific rules that are in place for title capitalization. As you can see in my example the uppercase letters seem randomly placed for a title, but they are indeed correct. For German too there are issues where capitalization has a meaning on the word itself. That kind of things.

It looks like your library does not support it, which is understandable, it is a huge problem to tackle, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thank you for the clarification! I understand that title capitalization can be quite complex, especially with specific rules in languages like German where capitalization can change the meaning of a word.

I guess handling these nuances falls under the broader categories of internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n).
