Creating Localized Inputs

You can use the input method editor (IME) module application programming interface (API) to create locale-specific IME modules. Each IME module adds a localized version of the on-screen keyboard, keypad, and IME to the Windows Media Center shell, enabling the user to select the language used to provide input.

A Windows Media Center IME module is an installable COM module that adds locale-specific versions of the on-screen keyboard, keypad, and IME to the Microsoft Windows Media Center shell. Because IME modules are installable, the shell can be enhanced with additional input methods on a per-locale basis. IME modules can also support on-screen keyboard and keypad entry of U.S. and European text through T9, triple-tap, single-tap, and so on.
