Suggestion to update the global policy for French-language titles

I’ve been a contributor for many years and I’d like to bring up a point regarding the site-wide policy for French-language titles.

​Currently, IMDb enforces a rule where all French-language titles are formatted in "sentence case" (e.g., "Belle de jour" or "La haine"). However, this goes against the official orthographic standards used across the French-speaking world (including both the Académie Française and the OQLF in Quebec).

​In French, it is a standard rule that when a title starts with a definite article, the first noun must be capitalized. This is a fundamental linguistic requirement for titles, not a stylistic preference. For example, to be accurate, these titles should be:

​Belle de Jour

​La Grande Illusion

​Les Quatre Cents Coups

​​I suggest that the formatting policy be updated to respect these native grammar rules across the board for all French-language content. It would significantly improve the linguistic accuracy and professional standing of the database.

​I’d love to hear the staff’s and other contributors' thoughts on adjusting this policy.
