In German documents the letter "ß" is handled like "ss"
This means that spellchecking won't find errors connected with this.
Example: Old spelling of the German word for river is "Fluß"; new and only correct spelling is "Fluss" → This (and similar, like daß, dass, Fuss, Fuß) mistake will not be detected.
Furthermore it affects the search function, as searching for "ß" will also give all "ss" in the document.
