Many languages, even languages closely related to English, don't have
the concept of what's referred to as book title capitalization in
English.

As an example, using English-style book title capitalization instead of
sentence capitalization in anything written in Swedish (including all
forms of titles) would be considered a ridiculous form of spelling
error.

So this highly language-dependant.
