Author | Umlauts in PM and Chat |
Dear developer,
I would be great, if you could fix Umlauts for the Germany Community, as we are not able to talk native language in PM and Chat.

It could be a mySQL or HTML charset/pagecode issue.
Thanks |
I wouldn't call it an error, it's just something that wasn't implemented, so I'd rather call it a suggestion, but I doubt, that they add German special characters unless they add special characters for all languages, so you have to stick with the substitutes. |
Plus the german words can easily be written differently. Oe, ae, ue and ss are just as understandable for any german. You just have to remember to type them that way :) I imagine the french guys have far more trouble with that, as their accents can make a real difference in a word ^^ |
Or Japanese native players could have some problems writing some of their letters too :-)...in fact I think it is forbidden to use foreign language in chat and forum. No big deal but anyway. :-) |
And when I say foreign I mean non-English, because I am not a native English speaker..as you might see. |
So, I think we all agree, that multi-langual support would be a great improvement on the game. Many websites and browser games allready have multi-langual support, so its just a matter of keeping the standards. |
