Your suggested solution is a good one if you know all your users are
german, all using the same browser, all with the correct german
configuraton.

If not, I strongly recommend using pages encoded in utf-8, and storing
your field values as unicode. Everything will then work happily for
non-germans too.

Standard Zope can't do this yet, you will need the patches at
