Answer 1

Do just want a mapping of german umlauts to the two-letter (non-umlaut) variant? Here you go; untested, but it handles all german umlauts.

String replaceGermanUmlauts( String s ) {
    String t = s;
    t = t.Replace( "ä", "ae" );
    t = t.Replace( "ö", "oe" );
    t = t.Replace( "ü", "ue" );
    t = t.Replace( "Ä", "Ae" );
    t = t.Replace( "Ö", "Oe" );
    t = t.Replace( "Ü", "Ue" );
    t = t.Replace( "ß", "ss" );
    return t;
}
