AUTOMATIC LANGUAGE SELECTION FOR TEXT INPUT IN MESSAGING CONTEXT

摘要

A method of controlling a keypad input mode for a text message entered on an electronic equipment for wireless communication (1) is provided that comprises steps for determining a language setting for the text message (S1) and for setting the keypad input mode to a dictionary-based disambiguation mode related to the determined language setting (S2). The language setting used at the beginning of the text message is hereby determined as the language setting used for the last text message entered on the electronic equipment for wireless communication (1) or as the language determined for a received text message to be replied by the text message, and the language setting used is subject to be changed if a match for a predetermined number of text elements entered for the text message is present in a further dictionary-based disambiguation mode related to a different language setting.
