[AUCTeX] Hyphenation of composite words and those with german umlauts

[Bernhard Kleine]

Hallo and good  morning,

for a book I use the following preamble part:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\documentclass[{svmono}% Springer Classfile for monographs

% *********Eingabe und Sprache
  
  \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
  \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
%  \usepackage{german}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \selectlanguage{ngerman}
.....

The pdflatex output looks fine with one exception:

The german language has many words which are composed using a hyphen.
Hyphenation fails in these composite terms. The same is true for words
with german "umlauts" \"{a} etc.

I have seen that this is old stuff but never happened to get an
improvement.

Any help appreciated
