apacite: capitalized significant words of journal title

Question

In APA style all significant words of the journal name are to be captalized, for example: Journal of Personality and Individual Differences. apacite package seems to not do it automatically, so I have two alternatives:

Manually changes all my bibliography entries (but they are too many!);
Manually force apacite to capitalize journals (but only significant words).

I don't know how I can carry out point 2. Is it possible? Could someone help me?

If your .bib file has “Journal of personality and individual differences” the information has been lost. — egreg, Nov 14 '13 at 18:14
I thought there was a method to modify the apacite.sty file in order to capitalize journal names... — this.is.not.a.nick, Nov 14 '13 at 22:43
There's no BibTeX function for capitalizing. Only for lowercasing. — egreg, Nov 14 '13 at 22:52
See this question for the context to this problem. I'm not sure I would call this one a duplicate, but the linked answers do make it redundant. — alexis, May 16 '14 at 14:09

BibTeX has the possibility of lowercasing titles, but not of uppercasing them, because this requires subtle decision based on semantics.
