Hello, I am new to OmegaT 3.6.0 (and rather new in the translation business as well). I got a problem translating HTML files ENG > GER. The umlauts are all converted into HTML code. A problem I already faced with the Trial Version of Trados, which I came by when I found the option "Entity Conversion". Now I cannot find a similar option in OmegaT, nor does Google seem to be able to help. Is there a way to turn the conversion for umlauts off?

Make sure the encoding supports umlauts

To confirm what esperantisto wrote, OmegaT will only convert umlauts to HTML code if the target encoding does not support them.
UTF-8, for instance, is safe.
