Abstract:
1. A method of enabling text input on a mobile electronic device, the method comprising: detecting an initial input of a textual object comprising a number of characters, each character being of a first character type, of a second character type, or of both the first and the second character types; storing, if it is determined that the characters are of the first character type, a first representation of the textual object from the initial input as a new entry in a first data source; storing, if it is determined that the characters are of the second character type, a second representation of the textual object from the initial input as a new entry in a second data source different from the first data source; storing, if it is determined that the characters are of both the first and the second character types, the first representation of the textual object in the first data source as a new entry and the second representation of the textual object in the second data source as a new entry; detecting a textual input in one of a first alphabet that can be transliterated into characters of at least the first character type and a second alphabet that can be transliterated into characters of at least the second character type; and outputting an identified first or second representation of the textual object as a proposed transliteration of the textual input.
