A method of enabling input into a handheld electronic device comprises detecting as an ambiguous input an actuation of one or more input members, employing an operative input method language to output a number of objects that are selectable and that each comprise at least a portion of a language object that corresponds with the ambiguous input, outputting at a location adjacent the number of objects an indicator representative of the operative input method language, detecting an input from a multiple-axis input device as being a selection input with respect to the indicator and, responsive thereto, outputting a menu of input method languages selectable as alternate operative input method languages.
