Reference: Several ways to type German Umlauts

Reference information:
Go to http://www.dict.cc/ , click on the desired letter with Umlaut next to the search bar and it'll appear in the search field. Then, simply copy-paste.


Use the Character Map
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/cha...


Alternatively, use your Alt key and Number Pad.
http://www.imagiforce.com/foreign_language_characters.htm


Please note:

The 'Alt + number key' works only with the number keypad (with the Num Lock 'on') and NOT with the number keys on top of the keypad (due to different ASCII codes).

In a laptop use Alt + Fn+ number key from the virtual key pad formed on the right hand by the keys 7890, uiop, jkl;, m,./
