I explained above why it doesn't invalidate the existing translations. The
translations shouldn't be copying the capitalisation of the English
translation anyway, since title case varies between languages.

As for the issue of translation, this doesn't make much sense to me,

title case is different between languages, anyway. For example, the
French
version of title case only capitalises the first word. Because of this,
the
translations shouldn't necessarily be consistent with the English
version to
begin with.

As I said, I don't see a point in changing the existing strings to
"comply" to the Unicode specs. The user seeing them doesn't care one
way or the other. Changing them now will invalidate all existing
translations.
