We do not convert all letters to lower case. See
http://www.open-dent.com/OpenDentalDocu ... l#language
There are two tables that store translations. language and languageforeign. Both the English version and the Translation are text fields, UTF-8, collation utf8_general_ci. All internal Open Dental code uses UTF-8. Maybe the version of the connector is the problem. But we are very reluctant to switch connector versions due to their tendency to be unexpectedly buggy or to change behavior.

Anyway, can you give me a specific example of the problem or a screenshot. I don't really know where you are having the lowercase issue.
