Capitalisation inconsistency between hint and answer

For "Lake Geneva" the hint given was that in French it is "le lac Leman/le lac de Genève" but the answer had "Lac" capitalised - "ses vues époustouflantes du Lac Léman/ du Lac de Genève". So wondering whether it was the hint or the answer that was correct, or whether both forms are allowed. Thanks.

Bonjour Paul,

Thank you for your feedback! The hint has been updated as both options (with or without capital letters) are accepted and commonly used.

Merci et bonne journée !
