That won't work for him, if I understood him right.
I think what would work would be some script, that creates out of the
tex-file one is working on a temporary file and then goes through the
file changes the umlauts and other stuff to entities and renders then
the temporary file. But pdfsync would then be impossible.
If I understand it correct he wants that he sees in textmate
"Doppelgänger" but when rendering not "Doppelgänger" gets rendered but
"Doppelg\"{a}nger". So he never sees the entities in the document he's
workin on but it gets rendered as there would be entities instead of
umlauts in it.
