Most words in a title are capitalized in English but this is not true of all languages; others only capitalize the first word and proper nouns. When you want to use a foreign title in an English text, say Lorem ipsum, which is the correct capitalization?

Lorem ipsum is a pretty interesting book.

First, in the context of main-text occurrences (at 4.1.8 "Titles and subtitles of works"):
