Many languages comprise special characters outside the 26 characters in the standard alphabet. For example, in Germany we have so called Umlauts like ä, ö, and ü, as well as ß instead of a regular s in certain instances. Yes, I know, this is so Old Europe but we Germans are not alone here. The Danish have their Smørrebrød, the Czech the Škoda, and what do you know, even the wittiest Brits can't help but being naïve from time to time.
What I'd like Windows Phone to do is to recognize me writing "Gruse" and suggest "Grüße" from its dictionary - meaning "greetings", by the way. Unfortunately, it won't because the word correction/suggestion algorithm seems to lack the association between special characters in different languages and their standard alphabetic counterparts, like "u" and "ü" or "s" and "ß". Would be a huge leap in usability if Microsoft enhanced the dictionary by just this bit.
