I'm writing an English text while still using a German language package for the occasional umlauts in German names or similar by using the nGerman package:
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
The way umlauts are written is typing a double quote character followed by the "base letter" of the umlaut:
"u
becomes:
ü
Now my problem is that I'm writing something surrounded by double quotes while a word starting with a possible umlaut is followed by it.
"welcome" at
becomes
"welcomeät
That's not what I wanted. Therefore how do I escape the " to make sure it's not interpreted for umlauts?

You're misusing
babel, in my opinion. Moreover, quotes should never be input with".If you load
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}, the hyphenation of English will be mostly wrong.is the correct input and doesn't require
babel.
