yeap .. but it changes the menues to german as well. and it is not very
evident why you have to press "u" for "Behalten" :-)
i had the same problem on my system. LC_TYPE wasn't set but LANG was
set to "C". i've tried "unset LANG" and put it into .bashrc and from
that time umlauts are displayed properly in the index as well as in
the internal pager and the menues are still in english.
