You can go to http://german.typeit.org/ and just copy and past or while holding the alt key down type 132 on the Numbers Keypad. Release the Alt key and ä appears. If you made an error use backspace once. This does not work with the numbers across the top of the keyboard. This method works with many word processors and HTML editors but not with all.

There are only three letters with umlauts in German. ä, ü, and ö. Umlauts at the two dots over the letters.
Umlauts

, no, not at all In German, there are three letters which you do not find in the English language: ä, ö, and ü. Each has got a specific pronunciation. You speak a kind of "ä" when you speak the English "way". Erase the "w" and the"y" and then you have got the "ä" you might hear "ö" when you speak a very very very british "low" with almost closed lips. I do not have an example for "ü" but the dots do have a meaning. The two dots over a vowel in German is called an 'Umlaut' meaning 'change of sound'. The effect it has is the same as adding an 'e' after that vowel, and in fact you sometimes see words spelled that way e.g. Jaeger or Jäger.
Two dots over a vowel is normally called a dieresis. There is a special case of the dieresis in German where the two dots cause the vowel to change (sound and meaning): this special case is called umlaut.
on microsoft word, there's usually a sign thing you can choose from.
The letter "a" with two dots over it is called "ä" and is pronounced like the "a" in "cat" or "bat," but with a more open sound. This diacritical mark is known as an umlaut and is commonly found in German and other languages. In phonetic terms, it can be represented as [æ].
"For" in most cases translates as "für" in German. Was für eine Farbe hat die Tür? = What for a color does the door have? = What color is the door?
The system of dots and lines used to represent numbers and letters in telegraphy is known as Morse code, developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the early 1830s. Morse code assigns short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes) to different letters and numbers, allowing for communication over telegraph wires. This method revolutionized long-distance communication by enabling messages to be transmitted quickly and efficiently.
When a vowel has two dots over it (diaeresis), it indicates that the vowel is to be pronounced as a separate syllable rather than combined with the previous vowel. This is common in some languages, like German and Dutch, to show that the two vowels should be pronounced individually.
The letter "ä" with two dots over it is called an umlaut, commonly found in German and other languages. It modifies the pronunciation of the vowel, changing the sound to a more fronted articulation. In German, for example, "ä" is pronounced similarly to the English "e" in "bet." Umlauts can also appear in other languages, serving various phonetic and sometimes grammatical purposes.
