agree  neilmac: Although strictly speaking "umlaut" and "diaeresis" actually represent two different types of characters.

neutral  Benjamin A Flores: I think this is a good translation for "dierisis" but not for an IT manual.

  -> "diéresis con la u" = "diaeresis (two dots) placed over the vowel u" . . . . Basically what you rewrote in your Answer (as you say in its Explanation: "Basically what Cristina wrote but in glossary format")....
neutral  Charles Davis: I agree with Benjamin; this is not incorrect, of course, but it is not a suitable translation in context. Note that it specifically says that it is sensitive to ü, the only letter on which the diaeresis is used in Spanish.

diaeresis used with the letter u


Explanation:
Basically what Cristina wrote but in glossary format.


The whole sentence would be ...except for the diaeresis used with the letter u.

And again I am trying to translate for general usage not for linguists.

agree  Mónica Algazi: Al grano.

  -> Gracias Mónica, creo que aún "letter" esta de más...
agree  Charles Davis: Absolutely; this is the translation. I think I'd keep "the letter". What it's saying is that it recognises "ü", but not other letters with diacritic marks, so apparently it doesn't recognise ä or ë.

disagree  Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A.: Linguistically correct: ""diéresis con la u" = "diaeresis (two dots) placed over the vowel u" . . . . "Basically what [I] wrote but in glossary format", as you say . . . .
