Possible to display umlauts in autocomplete?

Problem/Motivation

I would like to display german umlauts in the autocomplete suggestion list.

"Ü" becomes "u" and "ä" becomes "a" etc.

Steps to reproduce

Just setup search_api_autocomplete on a site with german content.

Proposed resolution

Display umlauts since they are unique characters.

Question: is there any option to accomplish this right now?

    The autosuggest can only display what’s in your index, and does so without any changes. In other words, if your autocomplete doesn’t include umlauts, then they are not being indexed. The most likely explanation is that you have the “Transliteration” processor enabled, which will do exactly what you describe: replace “ä” with “a”, etc. Just disable the processor, reindex, and this should start to work as desired.
