That's an assumption I wouldn't agree with. For starters, that would imply that the same name has to be entered differently in different Localities, and -sorry- that doesn't make sense to me. 

Yes, it does. For instance the only correct capitalization of the Dutch credited names "INGEBORG UYT DEN BOOGAARD" or "Ingeborg Uyt Den Boogaard" should only be Ingeborg Uyt den Boogaard, no matter what locality you're in.

But now I don't understand what you mean. You wrote: "Standard capitalization depends on the locality of the profile...".

Yes, which means an American would interpret "INGEBORG UYT DEN BOOGAARD" to be Ingeborg Uyt Den Boogaard, but a Dutchman would interpret it as Ingeborg Uyt den Boogaard. So, indeed this will lead to two different capitalized names according to the current rules.

The only problem is that Henri Decaë is very well known, his name appears in many books about movies, and there is absolutely no doubt about his real name... as for François Truffaut...

The REAL NAME is not relevant at all in DVD Profiler.

Your saying the right thing but for the wrong reason. 

FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT is "François Truffaut" NOT because it is his real name BUT because he's French, and in your language FRANCOIS = "François", AFAIK.

Not exactly. I agree that FRANCOIS can be only François, as Francois doesn't exist.

But Decae could be possible in french, since it is a family name, and both Decae and Decaë exist.
So you have to know the real name to transcript DECAE correctly...

I make the same analysis than RHo

You can argue your cultural imperative all you wish, Yves, It is wrong. If you do enough Credits you will see things such as FRANÇOIS. I know you chafe at Rules, the term for that is anarchist which fits pretty well in France. Do NOT add data which does not appear On Screen PERIOD, that's the way it works PERIOD. Unless you keep it locally PERIOD.

Sorry my French is not up to your standards, it is very rusty, but it works.

BTW, Yves let me remind you that according to Ken, disagreement with something is no reason to for a reputation vote. You have not been attacked in any way, you have merely been told youi are wrong and corrected. unlike the attack you dedided to throw my way, sir.

If it wasn't you then you have my apologies. Which is more than i have seen in your behavior. A couple of weeks ago a user demanded an apologfy from you that was directed at me, the bthread was locked but you never apologized. But you have mine

Correct, but that doesn't change a thing, in my view.
French and English capitalization are quite different.
As far as I understand, in French "François" can be capitalized either  FRANCOIS or FRANÇOIS, and both translate to "François", thus we should enter that form per the Rules.

Standard capitalization depends on the locality of the profile. In the U.S.A. an E can only be an e, but in France it could be anything you mentioned. Therefore we need to know the standard name of the person, which as for now is not allowed according to this American rules.

Standard capitalisation rules do not depend on the locality. They depend on the language of the name. A French name is a French name in every locality.

In the other thread I already documented that Francois does exist and is used.
