Error message when a lower-case letter follows the mt2 marker

I am a volunteer (limited PT experience) helping a translation team get the Book of Acts ready to be uploaded into the DBL. The second line of the book title shows \mt2 ya Baapositloa. The error message is ACT 1.0 Text or marker/style does not begin with a capital: mt2. It appears that PT thinks the first letter after the mt2 marker should be upper case..

I looked at the USFM documentation online. It shows an example of the first letter after the mt2 marker as lower case, \mt2 of the Apostles.

I am not sure why I am getting this error message.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Go to the project inventories: Project Menu > Checking Inventories > Markers followed by lowercase

Make sure that \mt2 is marked as valid.
