But it's also in the Norwegian rules that all names should capitalize the first letter. So why does this not apply to titles? Isn't titles just a name in a different form? |

Neither Film titles, nor books (in Norwegian) capitalizes the titles the "English" way. "Mannen Som Elsket Yngve" is wrong, should be "Mannen som elsket Yngve" In addition to reybr's links, please also visit: http://www.korrekturavdelingen.no/K4ForbokstavStorLiten.htm | | | Karsten | | | Last edited: February 23, 2009 5:28 PM by karstenp |

The only one I could find in my collection where the Swedish title on the cover does not follow capitalization rules is "Såsom i Himmelen", but I suppose there might be a theological reason to capitalize "Himmelen" (Heaven). | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
