Hi Bernhard,

I changed it like that via PageTSconfig:

TCEFORM.tt_content.header_layout.altLabels.2 = Groß

But what you said sound logic, this will be the problem. But if there's 
no other solution like you explained, then I think I'll go the pracmatic 
way an change the label in Gross ;-)

This is much easier and will keep the database in clean utf-8!

Thank's for your help!

Greets,

Andreas
