Capitalisation of "al-" in Arabic names problem. It shouldn't capitalise in the middle of sentences.

Hi all,
I read the forum trying to see if the solution could be similar to 'van' and 'de', but it seems these are not resolved. I think 'al-' (like al-Khwarizmi" is an easier to standardise. Zotero capitalises Al in the beginning of the sentences like English, but it shouldn't capitalise in the middle of the sentence.

Like here: "For further info, see al-Ghazali, Ihya ʿulūm al-dīn, p. 10." In this case, al-Ghazali is correct, while Zotero renders it Al-Ghazali as a personal name.

Any solution?

Thank you.
