Algorithm shortcuts in Vector & Raster menus shouldn't be capitalized in most languages

These Processing shortcuts are now capitalised after being translated.

In most languages menus (and generally titles) are not supposed to be capitalised. I can speak for Slavic languages where it looks really oddly, but I believe it's quite the same in most European languages, including German, French, Spain, Italian etc. Looking through our i18n, I've only found capitalized menus in Portuguese Portuguese (unlike Brasilian Portuguese) and somehow partially in Romanian.

So I'd perform the capitalization only if the system locale is on a white list (or rather the GUI language, as it can be overwritten by user).

I'm not sure if it should be a local change in python/plugins/processing/gui/menus.py, or just the QgsStringUtils::capitalize() should always fallback TitleCase to MixedCase if the current language is not "capitalistic" ;)

Thanks for raising this, Borys.
I guess your issue also concerns Processing dialog titles being capitalized when run from these shortcuts or the toolbox (but not from the modeller btw).

Hi, May I ask if there's any progress on this?
If using title case for dialogs seems to make dialogs look pretty in English, in French (in my case), it's really ugly and against HIG. Same for menu items.
Would be nice if this can be fixed before the release (I get complaints from users that do not understand why the GUI does not reflect their translations).
Thanks.
