Hi Oliver

Apologies for not responding sooner.
When you say source names are required to be basic strings (I interpret it as English characters only), is this a limitation in Mapproxy or in the WMS specification itself? Do you perhaps know where in the specification this is specified?

When specifying the layer in the source part, I get the following traceback in the log:
