Erik ten Hag

Hi everyone!


Today I’ve found several articles in Russian about Erik ten Hag. I’ve noticed that sometimes ‘ten’ translated/writes in Russian from capital letter (not at the beginning of sentence).


I have checked several books for translators and noticed that translatable conjunctions/prefixes (from NL to RU) always must be written from low-case letter.



Am I right that ‘ten’ in the name is prefix and using the form of uppercased 'Ten' in translation in case of lowercase of oirignal 'ten' is incorrect?

In Dutch prefixes are sometimes written with a lowercase and sometimes with an uppercase, depending on the construction.

For example:
- Erik ten Hag
- meneer Ten Hag
- de carrière van Ten Hag
- Ten Hag

Thank you!

As I understood, if we have first name (Erik ten Hag), then we use lowercase variant.
If there's no first name (meneer Ten Hag), then we use uppercase one.

That is correct.
