Hi,

not _all_ rules would be different for a german version...

But as for nouns: you could check for an article in front (the = der/die/das)
of a word - this could take care for the first 25% of occurences of nouns - it
also might be completely wrong, as there might be adjectives associated to the
noun and placed between the article and the noun.

It indeed would be difficult to find the words to be capitalzed logically, as
we (germans) have very strict rules which require a lot of background knowledge
of the language to write correct german.

It might be a good idea to plan german-language-specific functions for a second
release ;o)
