German Umlaute (ÄäÖöÜü)?

[DavidOrtmann]

Hi,
I just discovered that the program ignores the German Umlaute (??????) and the ? when entered in one of the files (like the demo-script).

Is there any way to make the program show these characters properly?

David

P.S.: I translated the guide.cel without any problems because the information is given in a separate box. But the text from the demo.cel is shown within the program itself (in this blueish colour) and then the Umlaute are erased.

I put this question from the "Celestia Users" forum at "Translators wanted" to this board because I hope there will be someone around to help me.

Celestia currently ignores all accented characters - a shame, since many of the Location files would otherwise brim over with interesting accents which I had to strip out before they would work properly.

So there is no 'walk-around' for the problem, e.g. by replacing the accented characters by a certain combination of letters?

Not that I'm aware of.
