It is good execise to get to know how the translation mechnism works in Golded. If it is only for the German umlauts and the sz, I  could do it for you, I have the experience. But I also need motivation as I will not use it myself. It is only useful for those that have latin-1 as the native character set.

But maybe someone in here has already done it. Anyone have the UTF8 to Latin-1 equivalent of th etable  posted a few messages ago?
