Initial first president

Indy beetle: I saw the edit summary on your revert; I know French sometimes doesn't capitalize initial letters where they would be capitalized in English, so perhaps we can get around this with "initial First President of..."? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: I would agree, but as you can see in the article I'm not in the habit of capitalizing any names of the offices/positions (e.g. "Lihau was appointed commissioner-general of justice"). I'd prefer to keep it this way, unless MOS suggests otherwise. I could also just say Lihau was the first premier president or first prime president of the Supreme Court, because its understandable in English and not incompatible with the French translation. What do you think? -Indy beetle (talk) 20:01, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

I agree consistency is important. Not sure if the MoS says anything about this; I'll poke around tomorrow and see if I can find I anything. I'm done for the night; I'll try to finish the review in the morning and will look at this again then, but if not it may be a day or two.

@Mike Christie: Mos reads, "Standard or commonly used names of an office are treated as proper names (David Cameron was British Prime Minister; Hirohito was Emperor of Japan; Louis XVI was King of France)". -Indy beetle (talk) 03:10, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

That seems to imply that initial capitals should be used for foreign titles when they are translated into English. There's also MOS:FOREIGNTITLE, which I think implies the same thing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 04:37, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Note: English sources refer to the post as "Senior President". -Indy beetle (talk) 20:04, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
