Phone keypad doesn't show non-english letters

Hi,
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but as it doesn't work in version 2.0.9 I assume it hasn't:
I live in Norway, where we have three special letters in our alphabet in addition to the basic 26 letters: Æ, Ø and Å. These letters are used in people's names. Thus, when I want to call a person named e.g. "Pål" who's in my contact list, I press "725" on the phone keypad to search for "Pål" ("å" is located next to "a" on traditional mobile phones). However, in DW, this gives no search results. Neither does a long keypress on "2" bring up the necessary set of letters.
Unless this is a limitation with the free version, I assume that the problem exists in a lot of languages foreign to english. Or maybe there's a solution that I haven't discovered yet (the configuration interface is quite large within this app)?
Note that the ability to search for a contact by pressing "letters" on the keypad was the primary reason for why I use DW. The flexible configuration options is another reason (I like things simple, and managed to configure DW so that it looks simple on my phone).
If required, I can send screenshots by direct message (don't want to disclose my contacts in the open).
Cheers,
Asbjørn
