6. A handheld electronic device, comprising; a touch screen 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 operation comprising: detecting as a first input from the touch screen display selection of at least one linguistic element; outputting a first plurality of selectable language objects that correspond with the first input and associated with an operative input method language; outputting at a location adjacent the first plurality of selectable language objects, a selectable indicator representative of the operative input method language; detecting as a second input, from the touch screen display concurrently displaying the first plurality of selectable language objects, selection of the selectable indicator; outputting a set of input method languages selectable as alternate operative input method languages based on the detection of the second input detecting an additional input as being a selection of an alternate input method language from the set of input method languages, wherein the operations further comprise detecting the additional input from the touch screen display which concurrently displays the first plurality of selectable language objects; and replacing the first plurality of selectable language objects with a second plurality of selectable language objects associated with the alternate input method language.
