The Subsurface CodingStyle file provides this guidance for these
situations:<br>
<br>
Only the first word of multi-word text strings should be
captalized unless<br>
a word would normally be capitalized mid-sentance, like
Africa. This applies<br>
to all UI text including menus, menu items, tool-tips, button
text and label<br>
text etc. e.g. "Check for updates" rather than "Check for
Updates".<br>
<br>
Abbreviations should end with a period, e.g. "temp." not
"temp" for<br>
temperature.<br>
<br>
There doesn't seem to be a view on the full-stop (period) at the
and of a sentence, perhaps we should add one, as the key here
IMHO is consistency.<br>

I 100% agree with this and also your second mail.<br>
<br>
There should be also a rule how to continue after a colon ":". IMHO
in most cases with a capital letter.<br>
E.g.:<br>
<span style=" color:#ff0000;"><font color="#000000">Wrong: </font>Warning:
</span>this is more gas than available in the specified cylinder!<br>
Correct: <span style=" color:#ff0000;">Warning: </span>This is
more gas than available in the specified cylinder!<br>
<br>
What makes the story a little bit difficult is that a single string
in the source code not<span lang="en"> necessarily ends up as one
string in the UI. So one needs to be a careful and always check
the final result in the UI.<br>
<br>
