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>
<br>

I like your approach and even would like to add one more category
of items including a few examples:<br>
For many strings it is also important to decide if the first word
should start with an upper case or lower case letter.<br>
Example:<br>
The information box in the profile.<br>
From the code of profile.c:<br>
<br>
put_format(b, translate("gettextFromC", "Calculated
ceiling %.0f%s\n"), depthvalue, depth_unit);<br>
<br>
put_format(b, translate("gettextFromC",
"Tissue %.0fmin: %.1f%s\n"), buehlmann_N2_t_halflife[k],
depthvalue, depth_unit);<br>
<br>
put_format(b, translate("gettextFromC", "heartbeat:
%d\n"), entry->heartbeat);<br>
<br>
put_format(b, translate("gettextFromC", "bearing: %d\n"),
entry->bearing);<br>
<br>
put_format(b, translate("gettextFromC", "mean depth to
here %.1f%s\n"), depthvalue, depth_unit);<br>
<br>
"Calculated", "Tissue" vs. "heartbeat", "bearing", "mean"<br>
<br>
Even in English language having everything upper case would look
better and be more correct there!?<br>
<br>
