shows error:

po/gl.po:11871(#2628): Unknown word 'Portapapeis' (suggestions:
Portalapis and Pasaporte).

If the word in the list is Portapapeis no error shows.

That makes sense  at least in English, because some words must be
capitalized, for instance, language names, ans days of week names.
I ignore if hunspell applies the same rule. Please note that we
(Galician l10n done within Proxecto Transo.) must use this
spellchecker, so the above reported behaviour could be backend
dependant.

Mmmm, if I have some time I'll test it.

Kind regards,
