Dear Joshua. Lowercase only is not common in German with nouns. It would
be reagarded as orthographically wrong.

Mixed case makes it easy to spot the first letter.

Of course, we could enter words in caps only. But if you regard reusing
vocabulary files for quizzes or the like, you would loose information,
here.

To ensure compatibility with all kinds of alphabets, I suppose we'd need
those three modes:

Leave case as is
All to lower case
All to upper case.

As for usability, I'd opt for an entry with one checkbox an one
combobox:

[ ] display only [lowercase|UPPERCASE]

(not sure as for wording).

From here I cannot create test files, my libc6 is too new so kanagram
fails loading:
