[Mediawiki-l] Language change (German→English)

[monkey]

Oh yes, I'd be really interested in some answers and hints too.

I've tried to change my wiki's main language and encountered some more
problems, namely:
* the german umlauts
* some tags that are different in german than in english, e.g
[[Kategorie:...]] vs. [[Category:...]]
