Editing Camel case (section)

=== In abbreviations ===
Medial capitals are traditionally used in abbreviations to reflect the capitalization that the words would have when written out in full, for example in the academic titles PhD or [[Bachelor of Science|BSc]]. A more recent example is [[NaNoWriMo]], a contraction of National Novel Writing Month and the designation for both the annual event and the nonprofit organization that runs it. In German, the names of statutes are abbreviated using embedded capitals, e.g. StGB for {{Lang|de|[[Strafgesetzbuch]]}} (Criminal Code), PatG for {{Lang|de|Patentgesetz}} (Patent Act), BVerfG for {{Lang|de|Bundesverfassungsgericht}} ([[Federal Constitutional Court]]), or the very common GmbH, for {{Lang|de|[[Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung]]}} ([[private limited company]]). In this context, there can even be three or more camel case capitals, e.g. in TzBfG for {{Lang|de|Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetz}} (Act on Part-Time and Limited Term Occupations). In French, camel case acronyms such as [[Oulipo|OuLiPo]] (1960) were favored for a time as alternatives to initialisms.

Camel case is often used to transliterate initialisms into alphabets where two letters may be required to represent a single character of the original alphabet, e.g., [[DShK]] from [[Cyrillic]] ДШК. <!-- Need a real example for the following: In Japan, Camel case is sometimes used when transliterating [[Hiragana]] or [[Katakana]] product names or initialisms into Roman alphabet. -->
