Yeah, I like my German with umlauts and my Irish with fadas and my Spanish with tildes. Dick Greenhaus tried using these characters in a recent edition of the Digital Tradition, and all the songs with special characters got scrambled. He hasn't found a Windows-based database program for the DT that has the flexibility and manageable size of the DOS version of AskSam, so he hasn't switched to a more modern database engine.
I'm glad you got the song, Haruo. Say, Wilfried, how would you translate "jauchzet vor Wonne"? I understood all the rest of the song, but that phrase confused me. "Sing the glad story" is how it's stated in the English version, but that's certainly not a direct translation.
