The first issue I found that I would like to fix is the capitalization of 
headers.

For example, “A General Introduction” is translated as “Unha Introdución 
Xeral”, but I want it translated as “Unha introdución xeral”.

At the point when I pass the source string to Apertium I know that the source 
string that I am passing Apertium is a header string, so I can actually 
workaround the issue outside of Apertium. This is not a perfect aproach, as I 
might end up lowercasing proper nouns, but the headers that I am translating 
do not usually have those.

However, ideally I would like Apertium to detect that the text is capitalized 
as a header (all words, or combinations or nouns and other, are capitalized), 
and to uncapitalize words 

But before I go that way, I would like to know if this can be done on the 
Apertium side instead somehow, and if so, whether that would be a good 
approach, or whether I should perform the changes on the translated string 
myself nonetheless.

I’ve seen documentation related to capitalization both in the wiki and the 
documentation PDF, but none of them seem to cover this specific type of issue.

I could pass Apertium additional parameters. Hence, I guess that I can use a 
custom formatter (?) meant only for this use case, but that seems rather 
hackish. And I would have again the issue of lowercasing words that are 
actually meant to be uppercase.

In 
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04402.html 
they mention some kind of Apertium 
scripting mechanism that may work for my case, but I am guessing that it would 
work on any string, and again I would uncapitalize words that are not meant to 
be lowercase.

Anyway, any feedback on this matter is really appreciated.
