 IF THE TEXT WAS:        IN THIS CASE:                THE SYNONYM'S CASE:

     air raid                                  all lowercase                          air attack

     Air raid                                  Sentence case                  Air attack

     Air Raid                                  Title Case                          Air Attack

     AIR RAID                                  UPPERCASE                AIR ATTACK

 

Currently, the Thesaurus is only provided in English.  However, the thesaurus data is based on free OpenOffice thesaurus data files, so it is possible to download other internationalized thesaurus data.
