You don't understand the idea from point 3!
Replace in games font
; -> ö
...
On physical german keyboard simbol "ö"  is located on key ";" (english). Inside the game does not need to switch the keyboard layout! Use english layout!
You type: ;ffnen. But you see on monitor: öffnen.
You add to vocab word ;ffnen and Game Interpreter responds intelligently.
This method works. This is how several games are translated into Spanish and Russian.

I like in general your idea with the replacement of vocab file. We should try. We have also translated the entire text from Laura 1. But nobody has ever worked on a dictionary.

And many other chars.. but if my vocab.000 not work (whatever reason) then this is my 2nd choice.
I wish SCI Studio 3+ would save words beginning with umlauts..


Btw, I tried to replace SCIV.EXE, but it seems the GOG version (ScummVM) does not use it. I can delete the file and the game still works. So this solution is not an option.

I searched translations for this game, but found none.. You translated it into russian?

EDIT:
I tried it with DosBox.. (SCIV.EXE from the game sq3).. it wants all vocab files.. and then I get the error "script.968 not found". But none of both games have this script file..

SkummVM does not use files the *.exe, only resource.
Here is the Spanish translation.

Laura 1 - only messages have been translated into Russian. The game is still at the ready. It'll be ready in about a year. We are preparing first the 3 other games.
There is a complete translation into Russian KQ4 and SQ3. SQ3 translated from English version, not German. Both games are on the engine SCI0.

Hello,

I finally found time to finish it.
Thanks again to all and Kawa for the tool. I finally found out how to write umlauts.

1. I renamed the vocab.000 to vocab.910
2. In tool "SCICompanion" Menu --> Game/Version detector/Parser vocab 900 on (then reload the game)

I can now use umlauts, but i have to write it like this:
ä „
ö ”
ü 
ß á
(ü you can't see, but it's still there)

3. Export it as patch file and renamed it again to vocab.000
(But it works only with ScummVM :()
