Abstract:
1. A method of entering text into a handheld electronic device having at least one application for receiving text from sources external to the handheld electronic device and a text input process that accesses at least one list of stored language objects to facilitate generation of text, the method comprising: processing received text received from an external source comprising scanning the received text for any new language object not in any list of stored language objects; determining whether any of the new language objects can be considered to be objects not in a language currently being employed in the text input process by examining the new language objects to determine whether the new language objects possess one or more specified characteristics at least partially indicative of or particular to a language other than the language currently being employed in the text input process; ignoring any new language objects which can be considered to be not in said language; and adding any non-ignored new language object to the at least one list of said lists of stored language objects for use by the text input process in generating text.
