NOTE: recent WordPress versions already properly transliterate umlauts if the 
site language is German. In that case, German Slugs is no longer needed.
While creating a post or page, WordPress automatically suggests a permalink. If 
your permalink structure contains the %postname% tag, then the title of your 
post or page will be used, simplified by conversion to lowercase, replacing 
spaces with hyphens, removing certain punctuation characters and removing 
diacritics from latin letters.
Thus, by default, ä is replaced with a, ö with o, ü with u and ß with s (similar 
for capital letters). For German, the conventional transliteration is ä to ae, ö 
to oe, ü to ue and ß to ss (sometimes sz in Austria, this is not yet supported). 
This plugin makes your WordPress apply the conventional transliteration.
I wrote this plugin because manually correcting WordPress’s suggestions is a 
considerable hassle, especially if you decide to change the title afterwards.
