Help!

[Paul Gregory]

I'm having a few problems with my school ADA project.

I have to write a program which translates 10 English words to French
but when it Translates a sentence it does it in upper case instead of a
capital letter for the first letter and lower case for the rest.

Any ideas how I could get round this ?

If I were doing it, I would make a separate phase to apply the
capitalization rules for the output language.  You might want
to do the same thing for punctuation, since if you later change
the program to have the output language be Spanish, I think the
punctuation rules are different for questions.

Is this the assignment or is it only a part of it?

with Ada.Characters.Handling;
use Ada.Characters.Handling;

To_Lower (Your_String (Your_String'First + 1 .. Your_String'Last);

Oops

 To_Lower (Your_String (Your_String'First + 1 .. Your_String'Last));
