Although I am german, I use an american keyboard layout for coding and
everything else. But there is a nice emacs solution to enter umlauts:
=C-x RET C-\ german-postfix RET= This enables an input method which
allows you to enter all german umlauts: ä ü ö Ä Ü Ö and ß. 

Entering an `a' followed immediately by an `e' generates an ä, followed
by another `e' it becomes `ae`, similar for ü and ö . `s` followed by
`z` generates an `ß`. Larger variants are typed by typing two large
letters.
