You have two options. If your editor is capable of saving files using 
Unicode UTF-8 (not ASCII or ANSI) encoding, you can directly type the 
characters, without any entities - both in .properties and .dtd. I'd 
definitely recommend this approach, as it's easier to maintain.

Otherwise, you can use numerical entities in the DTD file (such as 
ï for i-with-trema) - these are the same as for HTML, see 
http://de.selfhtml.org/html/referenz/zeichen.htm#benannte_iso8859_1

In the properties file, the correct form is \uXXXX, where XXXX is the 
hexadecimal form of the unicode code point - e.g. \u00E4 for a-with-trema.

Jens
