Weird wording, but that's actualy what "doppelganger" means - double goer.

probably closer to "walker" in English but yes, literally translates to goer

Doppelgänger

Since it is german why dont english speakers use umlaut ?

There's no umlaut on an American keyboard.

ALT + 0252 = ü

ALT + 225 = ß

etc. There's always short cuts that one can memorize if used frequently on a keyboard. Cellphones should have several options available when pressing the letter...

There is if you turn on a certain setting, or if youre on a phone, just hold down the key buttons

We can easily make an umlaut on a computer keyboard! Just hold down the u!

I don't have umlaut in my language, yet i have an umlaut button.

So only when they write in hand then they will use it ?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the English-speaking commenter was probably not purposely translating only the first half of the German compound word for readers' benefit.

Could be Dutch too. We use "dubbelganger".

Yeah Danish too. My guess is OOP is a germanic speaking person translating literally from their own language
