Hi :)
Earlier there was a suggestion of creating some sort of buffer-language
between English (US) and all the other languages.
Is there a language that doesn't have so many 'little' changes that affect
so much? One that gets all the translations done really fast? Perhaps

Changes made in one dialect of one language should neither affect, nor
effect changes in other dial

Not a language, but a working assumption that all supported languages
are translations of the strings from the source UI.
IOW, you have an en_US team, alongside an en_UK t

Khaled,
That is precisely the point. Most locales are more specific with regards
to things like sentence case vs camel case. English just changes its
approach to this issue depending on the phase of the moon and the number
of ripe mangos in Florida. In German, you can't just decide that

Exactly, you wrapped it nicely.
In croatian it's similiar, only names (people, brands, companies...) and
some nouns can have capital letter, rest can't.
I'm not really sure if english doesn't have any caps rules or people

I don't understand why people are fixated on the case changes! These are
not the only “cosmetic” changes people were complaining about. The changes
themselves were never may point, but the way people is complaining about
them is what I'm worried about as it shows that some localiser seem to have
