BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Problem with Umlauts in Citation

[gwydion]

Hi!

I'm having some problems around with the citation of a reference on the main text. I'm using the IEEEtranSA.bst style file and i defined the reference:

Code: Select all

@article{susskind691,
	author = {S\"usskind, Charles},
	title = {The ``story'' of nonionizing radiation research}

The packages i'm using are (those that matter for this problem, at least i think):

Code: Select all

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[british]{babel}

When i compiled the *.bib file i noticed i got this at the bbl file:

Code: Select all

\bibitem[S\"79]{susskind691}
C.~S\"{u}sskind, ``The ``story'' of nonionizing radiation research,''

which means that the character 'u' is skipped. The citation looks like [S79] (with umlaut on '7') instead of [Sü79].

Of course i also tried typing ü instead of \"{u} but all i got was rubbish

Is this a known problem? is there any way to avoid this?

Try additional grouping in the concerned entry.

Code: Select all

author = {S{\"u}sskind, Charles},

If you are able to input the umlaut directly like you did here, it is preferable to do so.

Code: Select all

author = {Süsskind, Charles},

Best regards and welcome to the board

*facepalm*

yeap, that did the trick. I tried that before but i misplaced the left bracket.

Thanks for the tip, Thorsten
