+# Quick Task 260329-u4z: Deutsche Umlaute in UI-Texten und CLAUDE.md Summary
+
+**One-liner:** Replaced all ae/oe/ue ASCII transliterations with proper German umlauts in all user-visible UI strings across 4 source files, and documented the convention in CLAUDE.md.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
+|------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Replace ae/oe/ue transliterations with proper umlauts | 10849b3 | index.html, src/ui/screens.ts, src/companion/fallbacks.ts, src/app.ts |
+| 2 | Document umlaut convention in CLAUDE.md | 2691d99 | CLAUDE.md |
+
+## What Was Done
+
+**Task 1 — Umlaut replacements in UI strings:**
+
+- `index.html`: Fixed forest intro paragraph (Waehle→Wähle, uebe→übe, Uebung→Übung, waechst→wächst, Naechstes→Nächstes) and parent section headings (Uebungstage→Übungstage, Haeufigste→Häufigste)
+- `src/ui/screens.ts`: Fixed 2 encouragement messages (Naechstes→Nächstes, schoener→schöner) and 2 phase labels (ueben→üben, Druecke→Drücke, herunterfaellt→herunterfällt, Woerter→Wörter, grosse→große, drueckst→drückst)
+- `src/companion/fallbacks.ts`: Fixed 7 greeting/comment strings spanning morning greetings (Frueh→Früh, schoensten→schönsten, Schoen→Schön, Gluehwuermchen→Glühwürmchen), forest comments (waechst→wächst, naechstes→nächstes, Baeumen→Bäumen, Stueck→Stück, schoen→schön, veraendert→verändert), and letter intro texts (Spuerst→Spürst, Huegel→Hügel, grosse→große, drueckst/druecken→drückst/drücken, Oe→Ö)
+- `src/app.ts`: Fixed 2 code comments (ueben→üben, Zurueck→Zurück)
+
+**Task 2 — CLAUDE.md convention:**
+
+Added to the Conventions section:
+> Immer deutsche Umlaute (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, ß) in UI-Texten verwenden, niemals ae/oe/ue Transliterierung.
+
