Description

Something that should be finalized before the first release is that we currently are not allowing the user to pass capitalized values to all commands. An example of this is:

• In the German keyboard the user selects the Scribe key at the top left and then translate
• They type the word "Book" (note that "book" is in the database)
• The result is that they're told the word isn't in Wikidata
• Ideally we'd use the same method from Scribe-iOS
  • The capitalization of the input word is derived before the database is checked and saved in a variable
  • The input word is converted to lower case (except for German nouns)
  • This word is checked against the database
  • If the original word was capitalized, then the capitalization of the return value is returned
  • If the original word wasn't capitalized, then the normal return value is returned

Hey @andrewtavis I’d like to work on this issue, could you please assign it to me? Just to confirm, should the behavior match the iOS implementation, including handling cases like German nouns?

[andrewtavis]

Yes, exactly that, @anileshwar12! Thanks for the care that you've already put into thinking about this :) Please let us know if you have further questions!
