Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for inputting text. A virtual keyboard is presented in a first region of a touch sensitive display of a device. An input representing a phonetic string is received on the virtual keyboard. The entered phonetic string is presented in a second region of the touch sensitive display. One or more candidates are identified based on the phonetic string. At least a subset of the candidates is presented. An input selecting one of the candidates is received. The entered phonetic string is replaced with the selected candidate.

1. A method comprising: presenting a virtual keyboard corresponding to a first alphabet in a first region of a touch-sensitive display of a device;receiving an input on the virtual keyboard representing a phonetic string;presenting the phonetic string in a second region of the touch-sensitive display;identifying one or more candidate representations based on the phonetic string, wherein the candidate representations correspond to a second alphabet different from the first alphabet;presenting a candidate tray including at least a subset of the candidate representations;receiving an input of a selected candidate representation of the candidate representations; andreplacing the entered phonetic string with the selected candidate representation. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Chinese romanization; andthe candidates comprise Chinese characters. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Japanese romanization; andthe candidates comprise one or more of the group consisting of Japanese kanji characters and Japanese kana symbols. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises keys corresponding to letters of the Latin alphabet. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the candidates comprise multi-character words. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying one or more candidates based on the phonetic string comprises identifying one or more candidates using text prediction from the phonetic string. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein presenting at least a subset of the candidates comprises presenting the subset of the candidates in an order determined based on the text prediction. 8. A portable device comprising: a touch-sensitive display;memory;one or more processors; andinstructions stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising instructions to: present a virtual keyboard corresponding to a first alphabet in a first region of the touch-sensitive display of a device;receive an input on the virtual keyboard representing a phonetic string;present the phonetic string in a second region of the touch-sensitive display;identify one or more candidaterepresentations based on the phonetic string, wherein the candidate representations correspond to a second alphabet different from the first alphabet;present a candidate tray including at least a subset of the candidate representations in the first region;receive an input of a selected candidate representation selecting one of the candidate representations; andreplace the entered phonetic string with the selected candidate representation. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Chinese romanization; andthe candidates comprise Chinese characters. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Japanese romanization; andthe candidates comprise one or more of the group consisting of Japanese kanji characters and Japanese kana symbols. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises keys corresponding to letters of the Latin alphabet. 12. The device of claim 8, wherein the candidates comprise multi-character words. 13. The device of claim 8, further comprising instructions to identify one or more candidates using text prediction from the phonetic string. 14. The device of claim 13, further comprising instructions to present the subset of the candidates in an order determined based on the text prediction. 15. A computer program product, encoded on a tangible program carrier, operable to cause a portable device to perform operations comprising: presenting a virtual keyboard corresponding to a first alphabet in a first region of a touch-sensitive display of a device;receiving an input on the virtual keyboard representing a phonetic string;presenting the phonetic string in a second region of the touch-sensitive display;identifying one or more candidate representations based on the phonetic strings wherein the candidate representations correspond to a second alphabet different from the first alphabet;presenting a candidate tray including at least a subset of the candidate representations in the first region;receiving an input of a selected candidate representation of the candidate representations; andreplacing the entered phonetic string with the selected candidate representation. 16. The program product of claim 15, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Chinese romanization; andthe candidates comprise Chinese characters. 17. The program product of claim 15, wherein: the phonetic string comprises Japanese romanization; andthe candidates comprise one or more of the group consisting of Japanese kanji characters and Japanese kana symbols. 18. The program product of claim 15, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises keys corresponding to letters of the Latin alphabet. 19. The program product of claim 15, wherein the candidates comprise multi-character words. 20. The program product of claim 15, wherein identifying one or more candidates based on the phonetic string comprises identifying one or more candidates using text prediction from the phonetic string. 21. The program product of claim 20, wherein presenting at least a subset of the candidates comprises presenting the subset of the candidates in an order determined based on the text prediction. 22. A method comprising: presenting a virtual keyboard corresponding to a first alphabet in a first region of a touch-sensitive display of a device;receiving an input on the virtual keyboard representing a phonetic string;presenting the phonetic string in a second region of the touch-sensitive display;identifying one or more candidate representations based on the phonetic string, wherein the candidate representations correspond to a second alphabet different from the first alphabet;presenting at least a subset of the candidate representations inline with the phonetic string in the second region, where the candidate representations are displayed according to an orientation of text in the second region;receiving an input selecting one of the candidaterepresentations; andreplacing the entered phonetic string with the selected candidate representation. 23. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying one or more additional candidate representations based on the phonetic string in a third alphabet different from the first and second alphabets, wherein the candidate tray includes at least a subset of the additional candidate representations. 24. The method of claim 1, wherein the candidate tray further includes the phonetic string. 25. The method of claim 1, wherein the second alphabet comprises logographic characters. 26. The method of claim 1, wherein the candidate tray is presented in place of the virtual keyboard. 27. The method of claim 8, wherein the candidate tray is presented in place of the virtual keyboard. 28. The method of claim 15, wherein the candidate tray is presented in place of the virtual keyboard.
