It might help if you used the UTF-8 character set in the DIR configuration. I guess you've got it set to iso8859-something now. I'm never really sure how you do this, but I usually found that setting "LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8" in the shell gets me a utf-8 character set in addition to telling programs I want german language. You have to set up your terminal to use or find the right character sets and fonts, though. If your OS isn't prepared for utf-8 character sets this might become difficult, I guess. Anyway, after you have your working environment set to utf-8 use your favorite text editor to insert the right characters into the configuration file. Start the editor from the shell where you set the language environment.
