10. The method of claim 9 wherein the language specific recognizers comprise a facility to prune active states of pronunciations based on score threshold and the multilingual dispatcher engine controlling the pruning threshold of each individual recognizer, the controlling comprising: determining the common prune threshold as the minimum of individual thresholds produced by said language specific recognizers, scaled to the multilingual dispatcher engine scale, relaxed by a tunable parameter; and dispatching a common pruning threshold to each said recognizer in the format scaled to the format of that recognizer.

The method of claim 10 wherein components common to all supported languages are factored out of language-specific recognizers and incorporated into the multilingual dispatcher engine.
