It should be affixes marked as 'affix in middle of compound word',
Flag is '~', example look in norsk dictionary:
flag ~\\:
[^S] > S #~ advarsel > advarsels-
BTW, we develop and debug compound word support on norsk (norwegian) dictionary,
so look for example there. But we don't know Norwegian, norwegians helped us :)

Now in CVS it is deep alpha version and now only text parser is UTF-compliant,

Can you use ISO-8859-1?

http://snowball.tartarus.org/
Snowball can generate UTF parser:
http://snowball.tartarus.org/runtime/use.html:
F1 [-o[utput] F2]
[-s[yntax]]
[-w[idechars]] [-u[tf8]] <-------- that's it!
[-j[ava]] [-n[ame] C]
[-ep[refix] S1] [-vp[refix] S2]
[-i[nclude] D]
[-r[untime] P]
At least for Russian there is 2 parsers, for KOI8 and UTF, (
http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/russian/stem.sbl
http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/russian/stem-Unicode.sbl
), diff shows that they different only in stringdef section. So you can make UTF
parser for german.
BUT, I'm afraid that Snowball uses widechar, and postgres use multibyte for UTF
internally.
