Hi!  
I’ve translated all the project and now there is a little mistake in the language selector:

“English” has the capital E but “español” hasn’t it. Is there any way to change it?

Hi!

If you open the designer, select the dropdown component, then go to view \> panels \> translatable terms, what shows up? If it is already something being translated, you can simply modify the translation in the translation manager.

If that selection is hard-coded in there, you should just be able to edit the ‘Data’ property.

Let me know if neither of these are the case. Thanks!

The language selector pulls values from Java’s [Locale.getDisplayLanguage()](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html#getDisplayLanguage()), so you can’t change the names. The capitalization each locale uses is the preferred capitalization in that locale.
