There's no umlaut in english, so it doesn't signify any sound in english words, it's merely a stylistic choice, kind of like writing a z at the end of a word instead of an s.
I disagree though, when you adopt from other languages the sounds follow. Of course designers don't feel like that, but they would be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that's not actually how languages works.
