The uppercasing and lowercasing behaviour provided by the LiveCode engine is language-neutral (read: wrong for some languages). Internationalisation and localisation are areas that we are aware of but 7.0 does not include any way to change the locale for string processing operations. Other oddities that people might encounter is that the toupper of "ß" (sharp-S) is itself and not the expected "SS" - some scripts became a little confused when changing the case of a string also changed its length.
