In one example, a computing device includes at least one processor configured to output for display, a graphical keyboard. The at least one processor may also be configured to model, in a first lattice, a plurality of candidate character strings that include symbols of a first alphabet. The first lattice may indicate spatial probabilities of the plurality of candidate character strings. The at least one processor may be configured to determine, using a second lattice that indicates probabilities of one or more words of a second language based at least in part on the spatial probabilities of the plurality of candidate character strings, a probability that the at least one of the plurality of candidate character strings corresponds to at least one word included in the second language. The at least one processor may be configured to output for display, the one or more symbols representing at least one word.

Virtual keyboard input for international languages

A data localization service is provided for a web browser residing on a computing device. Depending upon the availability of the network connection as well as the level of native support in the browser, the data localization service will support different levels of service/performance to optimize the user experience. To do so, the data localization service includes a priority handler configured to receive a request to localize data from a requesting client application and provide in response thereto a localized representation of the data to the requesting client application. The data localization service may also include a native data localizer configured to receive a request to localize data from the priority handler and localize the data in accordance with a localization preference parameter indicative of a locale. The native data localizer may be a function integrated into the script interpreter of the web browser.

Data localization service made available by a web browser

The disclosed subject matter provides a system and method for responding to messages related to multilingual input from different operating systems. A central hub component executing on a processor manages communication between connected components, such as computer applications and different processes. An input message may be analyzed by the processor to determine a type of input device. A combination of rule sets may be applied to the input message sets. The first and second rule sets may be selected based on the analysis. The first and second rule sets may be applied to the input message. A probable output message may be generated from the application of each of the rule sets in the combination of rule sets, and forwarded for delivery to an output device.
