XML File from Germany

I'm sorry to use this forum, i don't know if this is the right place to post this but can someone from germany send me a xml file writen with the chars ü ñ and others so i can make some import test's in the database???

Thanks to everyone...

What's stops you from making those files yourself?

Why can't you do it yourself?  You can apparently type those characters...

ñ is &#00F1; for example

Charmap, anyone?

Oh, duh, here you go

Is ñ even used in German?

There's a German wikipedia article about ñ
I can't read German but maybe someone who can would be able to use it to answer that question?

It's not used in English except for words like jalapeño and piña colada...

I'm fairly sure that's because they're Spanish words. I could be wrong though, since it seems everyone mispronounces them.

Well, there's an English article, too...  according to the English article, it's only used in Spanish and other languages with Spanish influence(which was what I thought).  And, yes, those are Spanish words.

Hi,

i´m from Germany and no, ñ is not used in Germany at all  We only use so called 'Umlaute' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umlaut):

ä Ä ö Ö ü Ü

In some cases, you can finde 'ß' instead of 'ss'...

If you need an XML-File with german 'Umlauten', you can use a newsfeed like http://www.hgv-stuttgart.de/aktuelles.rss, http://www.chip.de/rss_news.xml, http://www.stern.de/standard/rss.php?channel=all, ...

Or do you need something special?

Bye

Sorry for the question. I've tried to explain to the guys here that there's no problem in importing a XML file with Uhmlaut and other language specific char's. But it seems that they just don't want to believe... I think that's 'cause i'm the youngest here.. everyone is 30 or more and i'm 23 so i think that they just don't believe in my knowledge... oh well it was only to f**** prove them that i was right... no they know... "after a weekend"... they just spent a lot of hours thinking of a problem that they didn't had and that they could have got the answer in 10 sec. Well... That's life here in Portugal... Thank's for the replys... Oh and i've used first a der standart rss file...

I'm 15 years old, so I am younger than you; I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. Has anybody solved it here yet?

If you can tell us this then maybe we can attempt to solve the problem.

There was this problem with importing xml files. We need to get xml files to import to an Oracle DataBase, the xml files can come from n countries and written in their mother tonge... That means that we have to support chars from their tounge in the database registries.

The files from xml are coming in utf-8 mainly and it supports these chars and the import is doing a write to the database has is... that means that the chars will be in the database in utf-8 encoding... the problem is to get the import working and the presentation on-site working with the correct chars...

there's also the supposed problem of the assigned bytes that equal the keyboard have diferences 'cause of key combinations...

Well this is the problem that they're having... and what i'm trying to tell them is that if the database supports the chars there's only the need to record the chars and the site will present them correctly...
