[Koha-devel] Firstname / surnames uc/lc

[Andrés Tarallo]

At least in Uruguay (and I think Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil) 
surnames are written with the first initial in Capital (look at my 
from:). I realize that this is not a good practice, since sometimes is 
dificult to realize which is the name and which is the surname (this 
happens to me often, with my ID Card and Passport); but is the standard 
practice.
