Reported Problem for El Juego de las Llaves
posted by NotSafeforFunSTAFFMOD on October 9, 2021 at 11:25 PM
Item: El Juego de las Llaves
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: As I understand it, Spanish titles are by default in normal sentence case, with capital letters only for the first word and proper nouns. These are the rules specified, for examples, by both WikiMedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Spain_%26_Spanish-related_articles#Capitalization and IMDb at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-formatting/G56U5ERK7YY47CQB
Spanish Wikipedia at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_juego_de_las_llaves capitalises the title this way, as "El juego de las llaves", and English Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_juego_de_las_llaves also follows this rule.
PANTAYA at https://www.pantaya.com/es/series/57405 capitalises it as "El Juego de las Llaves"; however, Prime Video at https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0JKUBFF1D1QDLC9RDAXXUQ81WJ and DIRECTV at https://www.directv.com/tv/El-Juego-De-Las-Llaves-bkNNRDAxcENhb09Gby9GckxSaXJvUT09/Rayan-Gosling-s-double-aXVhd21sMWo5cCsxZHRKSHVIdFA0dz09 capitalise it as ""El Juego De Las Llaves", which is not consistent with PANTAYA, suggesting that PANTAYA's capitalisation is not an official stylisation but just how they format titles.
However, considering how title caps differ between France and Canada, it could be that the rules differ between Spain and Mexico, and I'm only familiar with the rules used in Spain itself.
It could be argued that the game the title refers to is a proper noun; however, I don't think this is the case, because it's not capitalised as a proper noun in the synopses on any of those VOD services that I've linked to.

Bumping, hoping someone can shed light on Mexican titles capitalization rules.

Mexican capitalization is the same as everywhere else in Spanish-speaking countries (Spain included). @NotSafeforFun is pretty much dead-on regarding grammar rules. Conventionally it should be "El juego de las llaves" but it's not uncommon for certain websites to use weird capitalizations due formatting issues.
Full-case titles are excusable when it comes to the likes of personal names, countries, institutions and such.
