Proofreading of Spanish title

Proofreading of Spanish title

1

Hello all, have a Spanish CD album and I'd like to make sure my assumptions are correct here. MusicBrainz, my go-to metadata site which usually has correct capitalization (for both English and Spanish titles), capitalizes this Spanish title as "Todo Techno" - I believe it should be "Todo techno". The page can be found here.

Please tell me which of the two is correct. If my assumption isn't correct, please tell me why; it would improve my Spanish just a little bit more.

Please note: this is a title - I am looking for how this title should be capitalized

Thanks,

sweglel

Capitalization in Spanish is very different from English.

Names of people and places

First word in a sentence

Titles like Dr. Sr. etc.

First word in a title of a book or something similar.

And few others.

Here are the rules in Spanish.

You are correct. But there are few exceptions to that rule. Newspapers, magazines, blogs, and similar can capitalize the important words on their titles. For example: El País, El Mundo o La Voz de Galicia (they are newspapers). The same applies to holy books titles.

More of the rules of the "picture", could be resumed in one:

At the start of ALL sentences in Spanish, you must use capitals.
