So I'm trying out the Swedish translation and I noticed a little oddity. The string "COMMANDER (Commander: )" is written in lower-case but is converted by the game "on the fly" by the game into upper-case. Unfortunately it doesn't work for certain characters, apparently.
The character that it doesn't work for is the lower-case of the letter ä. The word should be shown to users as "BEFLÄLHAVARE: " but is instead shown as "BEFLäLHAVARE: ".
As a workaround I have simply submitted the string "BEFLÄLHAVARE: ", which should "force" the system into using the correct letter. I still think, however, that it's something the CDT should be made aware of.

And these libraries know details of every language.
For example, character capitalization sometimes depends on the language and context, and sometimes can produce two letters instead of one.
(As an aside, "internationalization" is the longest English word Tom Scott uses on a "daily" basis.)
