Expected result
The same language string should be the same in three joomla.ini files, isn't it?
However, there is a small difference in one file (the differences are shown here in bold, only for demonstration).
Actual result
/administrator/language/en-GB/joomla.ini
JGLOBAL_FIELD_SHOW_BASE_DESCRIPTION_DESC="Show description of the top level category or alternatively replace with the text from the description field found in the menu item. If using Root as the Top Level category, the description field has to be filled."
/api/language/en-GB/joomla.ini
JGLOBAL_FIELD_SHOW_BASE_DESCRIPTION_DESC="Show description of the top level category or alternatively replace with the text from the description field found in the menu item. If using Root as a top level category, the description field has to be filled."
/language/en-GB/joomla.ini
JGLOBAL_FIELD_SHOW_BASE_DESCRIPTION_DESC="Show description of the top level category or alternatively replace with the text from the description field found in the menu item. If using Root as a top level category, the description field has to be filled."
System information (as much as possible)
current 4.0-dev branch
Additional comments
The most recent version is the one in the /administrator/language/en-GB/joomla.ini file. That string was last modified 3 months ago, the ones in the other files are much older.
Which is the preferred version?
If the latest version is used, then should "Top Level" be written in lower case or, if it is to be emphasised, in quotes?

Closing as having a pull request.
To me the lowercase in the frontend and the API language files looks more correct than the uppercase in the backend language file, even if that is newer. @brianteeman What do you think?
