Umlaut problems

[Erich]

gents as you can see I can do a couple but not all :

ä

ß

ah but when I try and type in Alt 148 it blows the posting out.

what gives ?

E ~

I wonder if there is a language pack for PHPBB. That might be part of the problem.

Appears to work for me...?

 

[Erich]

nope doesn't work for me or any other forums either..............this is too weird, and why just that silly umlaut o ?

 

[evangilder]

Hmmm, maybe your keyboard is either umlaut-challenged or suffers from Germanophobia.

 

[Erich]

wish I knew what was going on............had this problem several years ago and never put my finger on why

 

[evangilder]

I wonder if it may have something to do with your Windows settings for languages. I don't know squat about that, only that some things gets changed a bit when using different ones.

 

[Erich]

I am going to try and find a different Alt procedure to see if that will work....

Here are all the ones that I have. I keep them saved in a folder so if I forget them I just have to look. I dont use them most of the time I just use the ue for example.

ä
[alt]+132

Ä
[alt]+142
ö
[alt]+148
Ö
[alt]+153
ü
[alt]+129
Ü
[alt]+154
ß
[alt]+225
