12. A handheld electronic device, comprising: a keyboard having a plurality of input members including a multiple-axis input device, at least some of the input members having assigned thereto a plurality of linguistic elements; a display; and a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory having stored therein a plurality of input method languages and a text disambiguation function structured to employ one of the input method languages, the memory having stored therein a number of routines which, when executed on the processor, cause the handheld electronic device to perform operations comprising: detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more of the input members; employing an operative input method language to output, in response to the actuation of one or more of the input members, a plurality of selectable language objects that each comprise at least a portion of a language object that corresponds with the ambiguous input; outputting, in response to the actuation of one or more of the input members and at a location adjacent the plurality of selectable language objects, an indicator that provides the identity of the operative input method language being used by the text disambiguation function; detecting an input from the 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; and upon selection of the alternate input method language using the multiple-axis input device, changing the indicator and the plurality of selectable language objects to be displayed in the alternative input method language.
12. A handheld electronic device, comprising: a keyboard having a plurality of input members including a multiple-axis input device, at least some of the input members having assigned thereto a plurality of linguistic elements; a display; and a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory having stored therein a plurality of input method languages and a text disambiguation function structured to employ one of the input method languages, the memory having stored therein a number of routines which, when executed on the processor, cause the handheld electronic device to perform operations comprising: detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more of the input members; employing an operative input method language to output, in response to the actuation of one or more of the input members, a plurality of selectable language objects that each comprise at least a portion of a language object that corresponds with the ambiguous input; outputting, in response to the actuation of one or more of the input members and at a location adjacent the plurality of selectable language objects, an indicator that provides the identity of the operative input method language being used by the text disambiguation function; detecting an input from the 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; and upon selection of the alternate input method language using the multiple-axis input device, changing the indicator and the plurality of selectable language objects to be displayed in the alternative input method language. 16. The handheld electronic device of claim 12 wherein the operations further comprise detecting an input from a touch screen display as being the input from the multiple-axis input device.
