 There’s this pretty useful plugin:

 To quote from the author’s site:
   In German, the convention is to transliterate umlauts into two letters
 (ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue). The CVS code has some two-character conversions, so I
 added the umlauts to that list in my plugin, and the result was schroeder-
 sucks, which is just what I wanted.

 I wouldn’t want Schröder to suck, but I think that it shouldn’t take a
 plugin to fix this bug. There are more characters that are wrongly
 sanitized (e.g., å = aa, æ = ae, …)

 (Note that in Spanish and French, the ü is not transliterated in this
 matter. Not sure about Turkish. Maybe WordPress should check the locale
 before creating the post slug)
