Is there are way to find inappropriate upper case letters in the middle of a verse? For example, one team has this sentence in their translation:

Wa l-kubaaraat simʼo kalaamah wa firho beyah Wa gaalo yantuuh gurus.

The last “Wa” in the sentence has a capitalization error. Either it should be lowercase, to fit into the sentence, or there should be a period before the previous word.

Obviously such a check can’t just find uppercase letters in the middle of a sentence, because you could have a proper name which is supposed to start with a capital letter. It seems like it would need to be tied into the Word List, in which all words that are capitalized ONLY appear capitalized in the text. In this case, since “wa” is lowercase in the Word List, a check could flag the capital “Wa” as an error because it’s not at the beginning of a sentence. This is sort of the inverse of the checks that find markers or punctuation followed by a lower case letter.

Is there are way to do this currently? If not, I think it would be helpful. I guess this is related to the Missing Capitals check, which I have questions about, but will put in another thread.

The (experimental) grammar check may find such cases. That check categorizes words as well as guesses the position in a clause. I have seen results which show punctuation being needed. This check works better as you approach the final stages of a project.

Where can I find that?

Is there any documentation as to how to use the experimental grammar check and what it is supposed to do? I tried for fun, and it came up with 200 grammar errors none of which were grammar errors.

OK, I finally found it all by myself… :slight_smile:
It’s not in Tools > Advanced, or Checking > Advanced, but right under Checking > Advanced on the Checking menu (in plain view, except if you are looking for it…)

I let the check run all the way to the end. It didn’t find this particular capitalization issue, and in general it doesn’t look like it would help with this kind of problem.
