Livecode mobile: accented chars and umlauts on iPhone

[Harald Müller]

Hi Bernd,

thanks again. My version 14 is from 2010-11-10, I should ask the
support if this two-day-step makes a significant difference before
I submit the app (I will end in the spam folder with all my questions.)

"German-chinese" sounds sweet when you hear it out there, but
it looks strange in a text field, you are right :)

Best regards,
Harald.
