Subject: German translation of the Maxima reference manual

I have started to commit a German translation of the Maxima reference
manual. It is not only a translation, but I have reorganized parts of
the manual. I will post later more on this topic. Perhaps some of this
work is interesting for the English reference manual too.
But at first, I have some problems to understand the correct way to get
a correct support for the special chars of the German language.
I have written the chapters with German special chars, e.g. I have used
? and not @'a. Then I have tried to do the appropriate settings to
support the charset UTF-8 in the related files. It works well in my
sandbox, but I think the implementation is not correct and will cause
problems with a Windows system.
Perhaps someone with more experience can give me some hints to support
more correct the German language. I would appreciate any help on this
topic.
