A method comprising: detecting one or more character inputs in a first character alphabet as a preceding character string, the preceding character string corresponding to one or more valid characters in a second alphabet according to a transliteration operation; detecting a current character input in the first character alphabet following input of the preceding character string; determining whether the combination of the current character input with the preceding character string would result in an invalid transliteration result; and automatically performing, via a processor, an operation on the preceding character string to replace the preceding character string with a replacement character selected from among the one or more valid characters in the second alphabet if the combination would result in an invalid transliteration result.
