I'm a hundred percent sure that your German is about a bazillion times better then my yugoslavian. And I'm still trying to figure that beast called "English" ... and they don't even have Umlaute ;).
Err, seriously, I'm from the German part that's closer to the Netherlands (great country, people are less stiff ;)), so if I go to Austria, I need a pocket translator. And now, working in Switzerland doesn't make things better. Nice mountains, I only wish I understood what the people say ;). To get back to the topic: I'm converting data in Switzerland from Mainframe (VSAM/DB2) to Oracle, and they actually have some extra characters (to my surprise).

Character set Austrian? Local characters? I was fully convinced that Austrians speak German. As an inhabitant of ex-YU, I did a lot of shopping in Graz and even Munich. There wasn't much difference, even "joo" was the same. Mein Deutsch war ziemlich fliessend fruher, aber jetzt, Ich weiss nicht. God, do I hate writing in German without umlauts and "scharfes S"!
