Comment (by aaugustin):
Among the Western languages I'm familiar with, ä, ö and ü are most common
in German and this is indeed the proper way to transliterate them.
However it would look rather weird for the handful of French, Spanish and
Brazilian Portuguese words that include that letter.
I checked scandinavian languagues quickly and it looks like there's no
general rule. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_orthography:
> The Germanic umlaut or convention of considering digraph ae equivalent
to ä, and oe equivalent to ö is inapplicable in Finnish.
