You need characters with catcode 11 for the commands and most of the chars outside the ASCII range have catcode 12 which can be used only in commands with the length 1 like your footnote example.
hm, maybe the catcode initialization takes place too late
Here is a example how to use umlauts for the german interface:
in the next beta this system is replaced by another one: - mult-def.lua this is a table that has all variables, constants, elements and commands in a hash which then can be extended without the need to adapt the tex code - mult-en, mult-de, mult-nl ... these are generated by mtxrun --script interface --contect - cont-en.xml cum suis the derived ones are also generated by the previously mentioned command - stripped down mult-ini.{mkii,mkiv} the other two files (mult-con and mult-com) are no longer used taco and i are currently checking the new zip Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
