Consider using sentence case instead of title case in UI elements #5821

It was pointed out (thanks @ekcnl) during translation for 1.8.0 that the button label Yes, Delete Selected Source Accounts looks odd.

We use a mix of ALL CAPS and Title Case for button labels. Title case looks all right for Shorter Labels, but Can Start Looking Eccentric When Longer.

The Material Design guidelines, to which we've referred in some recent design discussions, suggest either all caps or sentence case. We may not want to pick one or the other exclusively: we sometimes use mixed case for safe options like Cancel and all caps for irrevocable actions like DELETE. Or perhaps we should indicate danger with other cues, as long labels would also look odd and heavy in all caps. But in any event, sentence case generally works better than title case, and I think we should consider switching.
