Yes, on umlauts, you just have to know what to press.

On the keyboard, you can cut and paste a character with an umlaut in or press the key code for that letter, which is usually Alt+a number sequence.

Cut and paste example
ü ë ä

Keyboard example:
Alt + 0252 = ü

You can do a Google search t find the correct key code for the letter you want.

Here's some info:
To obtain an ALT Character:

1. Depress the Alt key.
3. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad).
4. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.

Ä Alt 0196
ä Alt 132
Ö Alt 0214
ö Alt 148
Ü Alt 0220
ü Alt 129

ß Alt 225
Replaces "ss" in some words, like groß (big) & Straße (street).

I had mine changed by personal request... email/PM EverettB, and if you are worthy, you will get what you ask for. Just be sure that you choose something that you are going to be happy with, as it is like a new pair of shoes... you will end up wearing it for a good, long time. 8)
