Why are foreign titles "butchered" so much?

It should be somewhat trivial to implement that the search decomposes for instance German umlauts.

The title should be "Legendäre Superkämpfer". IMHO this part is also important for archiving/datting purposes.

A search using text normalization should be able to find those titles just fine, too, if the user cannot type e.g. ä. So you could search for legendaere, legendare and still find legendäre.

Just a thought.

That's not "butchered", but our convention that prefers a small set of characters.
German language allows such rules. Trust me, Spanish and Italian are really "butchered" changing accents: à -> a' are different things...
