Most of this author's works need Title Capitalisation from ALLCAPS. Shouldn't take TOO long :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Thanks Arenda. I'll leave this thread up as we all come across these...

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments There is a very handy dandy plugin for Chrome that's awfully useful for English titles called, inventively enough, Fix Case. It's not much help for other languages, given they rarely follow English title case rules, but I thought I'd mention it.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Sounds good. Do you have a link to it?

There appear to be a few similar extensions for Firefox as well.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments That's useful to know. Would it be OK to have a thread with useful things like that listed?

Thanks, I already enjoy using it.

I've also discovered a similar one, not a browser extension but a website: https://convertcase.net/
This one also has the option for other languages, including Greek and Russian.

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments Thank you Rivka!

And glad everyone is finding it useful. I also just realised (it's kind of obvious, I just hadn't tried it), it does a pretty good job fixing random all caps in book descriptions too (use the Sentence Case tool.)

I used it the other day to fix an English language title where only the first word was capitalized, so it works for those too! Good tool!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Thanks for that thread Rivka, I'd not seen it before (or not remembered that I had!). Bookmarked now :)
