HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE-AXIS INPUT DEVICE AND SELECTABLE LANGUAGE INDICATOR FOR LANGUAGE SELECTION, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD.

摘要

A method of enabling input into a handheld electronic device comprises detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more input members, employing an operative input method language to output a number of objects that are selectable and that each comprise at least a portion of a language object that corresponds with the ambiguous input, outputting at a location adjacent the number of objects an indicator representative of an operative input method language, detecting an input from a multiple-axis input device as being a selection input with respect to the indicator and, responsive thereto, enabling a selection of an alternate input method language as the operative input method language.
