Dear all good day,
Glad to be part of this community with such a nice & strong Open Source Product.
I have a question that may other Greek speaking people faced when translating their site.
Actually it is not a 100% nopCommerce bug, but I would like to put it in this forum in case that we find a good solution or a work around that can help others too.
Well, this is all about:
LANGUAGES THAT HAVE WORDS WITH ACCENTS (in GR for ex: {ά, ί, έ,...}) MUST NOT USE IN CSS THIS:
text-transform: uppercase;
The above rule is valid in Greek language because the transformation from lower case to upper case is done by retaining the accent, which is wrong and against to the Greek Grammar. For example the word "Μενού" in Greek (which means Menu) will be uppercased as "ΜΕΝΟΎ" which is wrong, and not "MENOY" which is correct!
Some work around on the above problem could be:
1. Go to CSS and comment out any "text-transform: uppercase;" commands.
2. Create a wrapper UpperCase function that replaces all words with accent to a word w/o accent.
Does any friend here have in mind any work around on this...?
Thanks for you time!
Near bug, but for sure not a... feature ;)

Thanks for your answer.
I totally agree with your statement : I presume 95% of all sites over the Internet use "uppercase"...
;-)
In addition I already implement your suggestion (as it is my No [1] suggestion too, on my initial post) and I bypass (but not solve) my problem. I suppose that the real problem is on how the UpperCase function is implemented.
Thanks again!
