Confused
 
When I translate, am I supposed to put accent marks on capital letters? I have heard yes and no from different people.

:rolleyes:

Nowadays it is compulsory to put the accent on capital letters. Some years before it wasn't.

Take a look at this:

7. Acentuación de letras mayúsculas
Las letras mayúsculas, tanto si se trata de iniciales como si se integran en una palabra escrita enteramente en mayúsculas, deben llevar tilde si así les corresponde según las reglas de acentuación: Ángel, PROHIBIDO PISAR EL CÉSPED. No se acentúan, sin embargo, las mayúsculas que forman parte de las siglas (→ sigla, 5b).

I agree with irmamar.

In former times, when writing machines couldn't put accent marks on capital letters, it wasn't necessary to do it. Still, I was taught that when writing by hand, accents couldn't be missed.
Nowadays computers can write all kinds of characters, so accent marks on capital letters are definitely compulsory.

I had never thought that it was because of the writing machines... You have a brilliant mind! :)

Anyway it's a good explanation, I had never imagine such a thing. It's good to know, thanks :)
