Description
This problem does not happen in promotion build. It's only in the internal build for message drop1 in 7u6.

If it's not fixed in message drop, it will become a regression.

All the CAPS words are not translated in Java logging. This happens in all the locales.

EVALUATION The root cause is because the strings were ALL CAPS in English resource file jdk/src/share/classes/sun/util/logging/resources/logging.properties Could the English strings be replaced with just the first character capitalized? This is Oracle coding standard.
