FWIW, in translating to greek we decided to have only the first letter capital.
But it seems it is normal in english to have many caps, right? Newspapers,
research papers etc use it often. Is there any other reason besides make the
sentence sound more important (pompous)?
I can't speak to other languages, but in many English style guides,
words are capitalized unless they are internal articles, short
prepositions, or conjunctions. First words are always capitalized:
The Prime Minister Is in the Parliament Building Across Town
Building a Better Mousetrap
A Briefing on Wild Animals and Their Habitats
