Text Formatting ⇒ Problem of german language words in Latex

[atif]

I am facing a problem related to words of german language in my document.

Like i wants to add this writer name in my document "Klüppelberg"

for "ü" i am using "\''u" like "Kl\''uppelberg" and added these packages

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[english,german]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,upref}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} %.jpg, .mps, .pdf, . png, .eps, .mps.
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{caption}

but still it is not giving me the required output. Can anyone help me in this? Waiting for replies. Thanks.

regards,
atif

It looks like your editor is substituting double single apostrophes for the double quotes. Some LaTeX editors do that, because LaTeX turns '' into an ending double-quote. But for this accent you actually need the real single double quote character " in Kl\"uppelberg rather than '' in Kl\''uppelberg. (It might be hard to tell the difference on the forums, but I mean that you need:

Code: Select all

Kl\"uppelberg

and not:

Code: Select all

Kl\''uppelberg

Though if your editor is Unicode-compliant, consider switching to utf8 for inputenc, and then you can use ü directly if you prefer. (It might be possible to use it with latin1 encoding too, but I can't try that right now.)
