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>Wrong: Warning: </span>this is more gas than available in
the specified cylinder!<br>
Correct: <span>Warning: </span>This is more gas than available
in the specified cylinder!<br>
<br>

Ahh, the grammarians don't all agree on this one, but the consensus
seems to be: You should always capitalise if what follows is more
than one sentence or a direct quote; other than that it's up to you
if you do or don't (but they all advise, once chosen, apply
consistently)<br>

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
