Title Case and Japanese Honorifics

BaronKrause · 10-01-2017, 03:38 AM

I noticed when applying title Case to my books that anything with a Japanese name in the title that contained an Honorific like BaronKrause-san would get the -san changed to -San like it was a 2 part word.

Normally it would be lowercase, does anyone know if making it capital is correct or not when it comes to Title Case? My gut says no and I should go back and correct those specific cases, but I'm just not sure.

Thanks!

Title case really only knows about English. As far as I know, san should be lowercase in Japanese.
