Topic: Upper/Lower case in source and target segments

Post title: PropagateCase in Pandora's box
Hi Neilmac,
Try this command:
PropagateCase=X
Where X can be 0, 1, 2, 3.
0 is the default setting: the glossary's case is propagated as it is.
1 forces a propagation of the target term in all lower-case.
2 forces a propagation of the target term in all upper-case
3 tries to re-use the source term's case.
I use PropagateCase=3 and for terms that should never change case, I add {nc} in any one of the Comments, F1, F2, or F3 fields when adding the term. For example, if the source uses ESPAGNE and you want Spain in the target, if you try to re-use the source terms case, you would get SPAIN. By adding {nc}, you would get Spain.
Hope this makes sense!
