Description William Jon McCann 2011-01-19 23:07:13 UTC 
The type names in the Other Media dialog look a bit strange with the first word uncapitalized.  Eg "audio CD".

Either sentence or heading capitalization would be better I think.  The action seems to use sentence capitalization but the type is more of a name/thing so that might argue for heading style.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2011-01-20 21:26:54 UTC 
These seem to come directly from the shared-mime-info db via g_content_type_get_description().
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-01-21 01:04:38 UTC 
To fix this, add "en" translations to to the corresponding strings in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml

Bastien has in the past refused to change the original, untranslated comment, but adding an English translation should be fine.

I'm trying not to undo:

    * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Fix capitalisation in a number
    of mime-types, better description for a number of content-types,
    thanks to Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>

none of the media type names, or content-types use initial capitalisation. It would be fine replicating those media type names with initial capitalisation in gnome-control-center though.
