save capitalized words in dictionary

Post by Heavy-MatIll »

Hey,

im german and all of our nouns are written with capital letters. I use german dictionary and the custom one and checked to automatically learn words i typed.
Still it does something wrong there:
1. it saves words in my custom dict typed with small letters although i did type it with small letters and then took the hinted version from the german dict with capital letter
2. it doesent save any words with capital letters in my custom dict. How come it forgets if i wanted it to be capital or not although?

Would be much easier for german users and would keep the custom dictionary clean without all the words that already exist in the german dictionary...

Hello
the problem is that for most languages, saving capitalized words would be a problem in case the word is the first one of the sentence (in which case, you would want to save the lower case version to the dictionary). But I agree that if auto-capitalization is on, the keyboard could guess if the word was capitalized on purpose or not. I will try to look into this.
