German umlauts are missing, Kubuntu 9.10

Hi!

Go to the following menu: K > System Settings > Regional and Language >
Keyboard settings.
Than, look at the list of available lay-outs and click at 'Germany' and
press the little green triangle to the right in order to activate'the German
layout. After doing so, you will see a list of 'lay-out variants'. I advise
you to try one or more of the following variants:
dead acute
dead grave acute
Romanian key ...dead keys
Sun dead keys
Macintosh dead keys

A so-called 'dead' key can be a key with ", ', `, ~, ^. If you press, by
example, one time at " and immediately afterwords one time at a, you will
get ä. The combination of ' and e delivers é. Etc. If you need ' or " or
another dead key sign, press it two times quickly one afte another. By using
'dead keys' I can type considerably quicker in languages like German and
French.
Press at 'apply' in order to change the settings throughout the system.

Stay at 'keyboard settings', but go to the tab 'advanced'. Scroll through
that list till you see 'compose key position'. There, choose 'right win' or
another button as ´compose key'. Several characters that cannot be invoked
via a 'dead key' can be found via a 'compose' key. In order to get the
character ç (in e.g. François), I first press in my case right-win, than ,
than c.
Press again at 'apply' in order to get this change throughout the system.

I hope this will help you. Respectfully yours,

Bas.

P.S. Falls Du noch Fragen hast, kannst Du mich auch auf deutsch schreiben.
