<p>When setting up multiple locales you need to also setup sub-directories for each locale except the default one. So if <code>de</code> is your third locale you should have a <code>/de</code> folder in your wwwroot.</p>

<p>After that please browse to the URL <code>/de/uber-uns</code>.</p>

I have a public_de directory with a separate index.php with define('CRAFT_LOCALE', 'de'); which takes me to de.site.com

<p>My experience with foreign characters in the past is that they don't work in URLs. Try changing it to <code>uber-uns</code> and see what happens.</p>

<p>Where are you taken when you click the “Open entry” button next to the “Live Preview” one? Maybe you forgot to change the rest of the URL in your tests.</p>

I'm trying to change the URI of a single so on the german site it will show the translated URI.

At the moment I'm just changing it here:

However if I try to browse to /Über-uns on the german site I get a 404, what am I doing wrong?

When setting up multiple locales you need to also setup sub-directories for each locale except the default one. So if `de` is your third locale you should have a `/de` folder in your wwwroot.

After that please browse to the URL `/de/uber-uns`.
