Occupations in German are shown in lower case, if English language is chosen, e.g.:

  • Hausfrau => hausfrau
  • Bergbauingenieur, Hüttenvogt => bergbauingenieur, Hüttenvogt

In the second example, the first occupation word is lower case, the second word keeps upper case.

Well, before GEDCOM 7 (with translation features included) there is probably no good solution for this. However, changing to lower case it worse than doing nothing and should be avoided.

I would propose to leave data from the OCCU tags (and probably also from other tags) as it is.

You have selected English. If you select German you'll see the occupations with a capital. I've made an exception for German.
In many languages, like English and Dutch, occupations are written lowercase when they appear in the middle of a sentence which is the case here.

In the individual fact they are written with a capital because they appear at the start of the sentence or as a single word there.

I would propose to leave data from the OCCU tags (and probably also from other tags) as it is.

But that results in text with incorrect spelling in many languages.

I need to think about it.

I think I will add it to the configuration page as an option. That's the only way to keep everybody happy I think.

By the way, the configuration page is not ready yet. I still need to write it but it will be ready before the first stable release.

Thank you for introducing the configuration option. I tested it in the new beta3 version and it worked fine!
