Abstract
A system and method is shown that is used to input multilingual text into an electronic device comprising a numerical keypad, or equivalent. The system comprises a language input method editor that accesses a character database. Asian and non-Asian languages can be intermingled within a line of text using the language input method editor and displayed on a text window of the electronic device. Words, or characters, of Asian languages are selected from character databases using a special decimal code of four or more digits and characters of non-Asian languages are selected using a two-digit decimal code. The special decimal code for Asian languages provides a means for alphabetizing all characters of the Asian languages.
