Abstract
A computer implemented system and method utilizing rules instantiated in objects of an object-oriented operating system to transliterate text as it is input into a computer is disclosed. A number of transliterator objects are created in the storage of the computer, each one of the transliterator objects include transliteration rules arranged in the storage in a preferred order. Each of the transliteration rules contain a first language character string, a second language character string, and logic for comparing the first language character string in each of the transliteration rules to a text string that is entered into a computer to determine a subset of transliteration rules which match the entered text string. The entered text is displayed on a computer display as it is input into a computer and a particular one of the plurality of transliterator objects' logic is utilized in response to the preferred order for selecting one of the subset of transliteration rules and applying it to the first text string to display the second language character string of the selected transliteration rule on the display.
