MaterialComponents actionbar text cannot be made lowercase? (textAllCaps does not work)

Question

I am using this theme Theme.MaterialComponents.

My problem is that I added some menu, which is simple clickable text, and that is displayed on the action bar as UPPERCASE (see the image below):

My resourse file contains this text as follows:

<string name="register_user_action_v2">Создать</string>

I tried adding actionMenuTextAppearance styles to my theme:

<style name="Theme.MyDarkMaterialDesignBar" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents">

...

<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/MyMenuTextAppearance</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/MyMenuTextAppearance</item>

...

</style>

where MyMenuTextAppearance:

<style name="MyMenuTextAppearance" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
        <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
        <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>

But still, it does not work.

How to make this text looks like normal (e.g. Создать, not СОЗДАТЬ )

P.S. Maybe it is a problem with my @style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu and I should use something different for MaterialComponent theme?

Thanks!

You can use:

 <com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            ../>

toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar); //Material toolbar
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

with this style:

  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.*">
    <item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/actionbar_menu</item>
  </style>

  <style name="actionbar_menu" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
  </style>
