Capitalisation on autocorrect

Question

I was just upgraded to Studio 2017 this week. 
 One of the first things I did was to import a long list of autocorrect settings, which I use to translate certain very common words. 
 Prior to the upgrade, "Verbindlichkeiten" (for example) would autocorrect to "liabilities", as entered in the autocorrect list. 
 Now, however, it autocorrects to "Liabilities". 
 As German nouns are all capitalised, this is happening a lot and thus slowing me down. 
 Has anyone else encountered this, or can anyone offer a fix?

Hi, R.E., 
 
This is a feature that was intoroduced in SDL Studio SR1, apparently: This is the expected functionality now. 
 
"Capitalization persists in AutoCorrect replacements 
If the first letter of a word to be replaced by AutoCorrect is capitalized, then the first letter of the word 
that replaces is capitalized as well."

For me it was useful that you mentioned this. It might impact my colleagues as well, although I guess some people might like it this way.

Hello R E Mayfield 
 Maybe the import has been corrupted when upgrading, so the first thing to check is possibly the settings-

AutoCorrect I believe does not work if 'Track Changes' is switched on- 
 
 So please also check this setting. 
 
 Did any of this help?
