GOAL: Add Smarty "language.modifier.capitalize" to existing skin language text.
When trying to change the case of language text below:
Orignal Works = {jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="8" default="About"}
--
This Gives Error = {jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="8" default="About" |capitalize}

How to correctly add smarty "language.modifier.capitalize" ( |capitalize) onto the Orginal smarty code above?

Something like this should work -
{jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="8" default="About" assign="x"}
{$x|capitalize}

@paul - Thanks, now there is no Smarty error. However Smarty modifier seems to have no effect, still outputs "AUDIO" in the widget title. How to change output = "Audio" ( Camel Case ) ?

I believe you can use HTML and CSS in the title field too, so try something like this:

<span style="text-transform:capitalize;">{jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="8" default="About"}</span>

Hope this helps!

@douglas: Yes, that worked, cool...
--
Sometimes confusing when to use CSS, HTML, or Smarty tags...
--
In this case HTML / CSS worked - final solution:
<span style="text-transform:capitalize;">{jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="8" default="About"}</span>

If the original input was 'About' but you actually got 'ABOUT' then its likely that CSS is effecting that change too. Perhaps look for the base cause and remove that instead of forcing another layer of CSS changes onto it.

CSS: "Make all of these all-caps, then make this one capitalize." vs "(do nothing, use original input)"

@michael - Yes, you are correct, we added another layer of CSS.
If this was a custom module, we could find the CSS quickly, in the CSS folder.
However, since this is SiteBuilder Widget, where to find that original CSS code?
