Write German Characters on a English Keyboard

[Stephan_Cadisch]

I'm communicating frequently in German. However, I'm using an English keyboard, which doesn't have the respective characters. For example, I would like "ae" to be replaced automatically by an ä. This works well, but only if I add a space in front of the "ae", like if I type älter it works as the "ae" stands at the beginning, if however I write spaet, it doesn't work as the "ae" is in the middle of the word. Is there a function I can add to get this working?
