Should be lower case fuzzy.

It should be consistent throughout the corpus. In my opinion title case, trailing colons and ellipses, trailing whitespace, etc., should be avoided to allow the highest possible hit rates from translation memories. Keep the strings as clean as possible.

Also look at A/b vs. A/B which I've observed to be present inconsistently. This might result in one or more upstream change requests.

> 7. Trailing elipses (...) and trailing colons (:) needs to be removed
> 8. Style guide related matters should move to the respective guides rather than terminology DB

Style guide should contain information on proper addition of ellipsis, colons, semi-colons, punctuation for bullet lists.

I think that if language codes are used for almost everything, they should be used for everything :). Might as well use en/ or enUS/ here.
