Sentence case breaks with non-English languages through Polyglossia #22

Closed alecshaw closed 8 years ago

alecshaw commented 8 years ago

When \setdefaultlanguage{} from the polyglossia package is set to something other than english (in this case I was using icelandic but also tested german), .bib entries do not appear in sentence case, but rather as they were input, in this instance in title case in the .bib.

[EDIT] I'm going to put up a MWE, but now the whole thing is broken, so I'm stalled on the working part.

This is working as intended. We use the \MakeSentenceCase* command of biblatex, which performs the conversion to sentence case only if the language is a version of English. Other languages typically do not have a concept of setting titles in sentence case. If you want to override this yourself, look at the biblatex documentation, specifically the \DeclareCaseLangs* command.

I see. Thank you!
