could not apply de-accenting of letters or turning umlauts into diphthongs. I think that there is a strong case for this being a plugin.
please explain diphthongs.
Example: the word f?r can also be written fuer. Sch?n can be written schoen. I don't know what the German word for a diphthong is, but it means putting two vowels together.
Diphthong is a german word (too), but AFAIK it only means two regular vowels put together to form a new sound ('a' and 'u' -> 'au'; 'ei', etc)
Encoding Umlaute (or umlauts) by using two vowels IMO doesn't make those two vowels a diphthong, but I might be wrong (IANALinguist)
