Base Claim:
1. A mobile electronic device comprising: a touch sensitive screen; a detection component for detecting a change in physical orientation of the mobile electronic device; and a translator application operable in multiple physical orientations of the mobile electronic device, the translator application translating between natural languages and the translator application triggered by detecting a change in the physical orientation of the mobile electronic device, wherein in response to the detection component detecting a change in the physical orientation of the mobile electronic device from a first orientation to a second orientation, the translator application: causing a translation of a word or phrase from a first language entered via a first virtual keyboard, having characters or symbols from the first language, on the touch sensitive screen into a second language to obtain a first translation, and causing a display of the first translation and a second virtual keyboard with characters or symbols from the second language on the touch sensitive screen, wherein in response to the detection component detecting a change in the physical orientation of the mobile electronic device from the second orientation back to the first orientation, the translator application: causing a translation of a word or phrase entered via the second virtual keyboard from the second language on the touch sensitive screen into the first language to obtain a second translation, and causing a display of the second translation and the first virtual keyboard, wherein the first language is a default language or is selected by a first user, and wherein the second language is selected by the first user, selected by a second user, or determined by the mobile electronic device.
