SOFTWARE-DEFINED MULTI-LINGUAL TYPEWRITTEN CHARACTERS

Software programming provides multi-lingual capabilities for typewritten characters. An information handling system may be programmed to identify any language-specific character typed in any human, natural language. The information handling system presents a menu of supported languages, and a user may select her desired language of use. As the user then types on a keyboard, the information handling system receives scancodes. The information handling system accesses a comprehensive, universal database storing language-specific characters used in many languages. The information handling system uses the database to identify which key, and thus which language-specific character, was depressed, according to the user's desired language of use. Should the information handling system be shared by multiple users, any of the users may switch the language of use and type using the corresponding language-specific characters.
