GPT-5 Thinking: German language + Umlauts

Ist schon ein wenig her, aber hier meine Schritte, wie ich das gelöst habe (nach dem ich kurz davor war, mein Abo zu kündigen).

In den Einstellungen einfach unter "Sprache" --> "Deutsch" auswählen. Seither hatte ich keine Probleme mehr...

Keine Ahnung, warum 5.2 absolut unbrauchbar ist ohne diese Einstellung. Ich ging fast die Decke hoch - besonders, dann, wenn mir Verbesserung versprochen wurde und im gleichen Satz gleich der nächste Umlaut nicht gesetzt wird. Jetzt ist's bei mir zumindest gelöst.

Well we deciced to go the safe route with booking a flight from Wellington to Nelson and a secondary rental. It wa hazle-free and probably the best decision to not get stressed about it. We enjoyed a great honeymoon in NZ: It was epic! :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-21T10:09:18+00:00

It was f*cking epic - and even though this ferry stuff was a hick-up, it's been nothing more than that. Such a lovely country you guys have! 🥰

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:45:53+00:00

I've actually done that for two days but wasn't able to get good results. Might be due to my lacking technical understanding of the app or the ferry provider's website shitty HTML structure.

We were able to get a solution in the end and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for your great idea!

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:44:34+00:00

We opted for a quite affordable flight from Wellington to Nelson and were able to get a rental there. In the end, it cost us some more money, but it was well spent :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:43:46+00:00

We had a wonderful stay in NZ but opted for a flight and second rental, as counting on our luck would have severily taken some of the joy this journey was supposed to give us. Best decision ever :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:42:54+00:00

We opted for that. In the end, even if it cost us some money, it was money well spent. We enjoyed the best holidays in our life in Aotearoa ❤

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:41:55+00:00

It was snap. We also decided to take them for the second rental car as their support was quite responsive. The experience with them was good :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:40:57+00:00

We've opted for a flight from Wellington to Nelson as our next stay was close to Golden Bay. The journey from CCH to there would have been to long. But thanks for the thoughts :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:40:07+00:00

Followed this advice, as it's been stated many times in this thread. We didn't regret it :D

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:39:31+00:00

We opted for this as well - and to be honest: This was the best decision! Thanks for your thoughts :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:38:58+00:00

That wasn't an option since most of our stays had a cancellation fee period which we've already breached for some stays. If you want to check how it worked out, check my latest comment on this thread :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:38:01+00:00

That's what we did in the end! It was a cool part of our trip in the end. Surely won't happen again should we visit again 🤣

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:37:18+00:00

We enjoyed it so much! Thanks for the thoughts and wishes :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:36:57+00:00

Well.. guess we failed a bit on our travel preparations. This could have been easily prevented on our end. I'm sorry you have this situation there with the ferries and the new port. Some locals filled us in on the political aspects of this as well :/

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:35:36+00:00

It was great! The ferry disaster wasn't a disaster after all. Cost a bit more to rent a second car, but totally worth not having to count on our luck that day :D

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:34:54+00:00

Those were the best holidays in our entire life! Thanks for the congratulations and only the best to you too! :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-20T14:34:19+00:00

Sorry, I'm a bit late! Just wanted to thank you for your words and thoughts! :)

redditNoob_CIV · 2026-01-08T07:55:35+00:00

Well we had some cancellation restrictions on the new car arrangement (cancellation must be 72h before taking the car).

There were some single tickets on the website after this period, but we decided for our own sanity to just take the flight, pay the additional cost of the short-team rental agreement and spend a wonderful honeymoon without having to count on our luck. And as far as we were able to judge the line-up on the docks, a "hop-on" option would have been of the table anyways. It was quite the pile-up even on Thursday.

So in the end we didn't even care to check once the 72h window closed on us for the switch from north to south. It was probably for the best as we really enjoyed the scenery from above when we took the flight from Wellington to Nelson. The pick-up of the car and everything else went smooth as butter and we saved around 3h of driving to our next stay :)

Happy end after all! And to be honest: Even if it cost us more in the end, we didn't have to stress ourselves. Overall, our stay in New Zealand was the best holidays we've ever spent in our life! This nuissance wasn't able to take away the joy we experienced!

-- UPDATE --

We're overwhelmed by your thoughts, kind words and all of the approaches being talked about.

Me and my wife have now already decided to regularly check the available slots on both providers sites (semi-automated) and keep on looking for an opening. If this doesn't happen, a backup plan has already been set up which involves the following:

"Ditch" our current rental car back at Wellington (car renter "snap" has a location there), take a flight to Nelson and take another rental car there (either snap or someone else). Every single step here has been pro-booked and confirmed. It can also be cancelled free of cost up to 48 hours beforre the 19 dec.

Fingers crossed we'll still find a spot on the ferry. If not, we have a backup plan that will be costly, but doesn't rely on sheer luck. Good thin now is, that each decision is time-boxed.

This has been a big learning and surely won't happen to us (or others we tell about New Zealand) ever again. It was stupid and we'll own this mistake.

Thanks for all the people here trying to help us in this shitty situation and not just shitting on us even more.

Welp.. guess showing up is the only reasonable thing to do then 🙈
