Translation of capitalized and non-capitalized English word

Hi,

using the JSON translation, I currently have to have separate keys for capitalized and non-capitalized words, for example:

"addresses":  "<some translation>",
"Addresses":  "<same translation as above>"

but in the language I want to translate there is no such thing as capitalization.. so I currently have to manually add both versions every time (because many times the English version in the website has either capitalized or not)

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks

Javascript is case-sensitive, so there is no workaround for directly accessing values on the Object values using their correctly cased keys.

What is the wider context here; why do you need similar keys like addresses and Addresses; how are you using these keys?

Use lower case labels everywhere and style upper case using CSS where needed:

<a class="title">{{ __('addresses') }}</a>

a.title {
    text-transform: capitalize;
}

// or

a.title::first-letter {
    text-transform: capitalize;
}
