It seems to me that the application produces iso-8859-1 characters 
that get (wrongly) reinterpreted as UTF-8 (see how the character 
following each umlaut is gobbled).   And the app does not seem to honour 
the LANG variable since the above did not help.


You could try the following (as a test): 
- Start a konsole 
- Type: export LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1"
- Start a second konsole from that environment
- In that second one, start your app and see what you get


Cheers, 
Christian.
