Predictive text in hinglish

Predictive text in Nokia phones somtimes becomes irritating. The "Predictive" in the "Predictive text" relates to English dictionary only. And many a times we end up using a mix of English and Hindi, like : "movie <**> dekhne chalen?<**> I will be free by 5. Last week <**> bhi movie nahi dekha<**> ". The <**> of couse signifies changing the mode from predicive text to normal english using '*' key. And it is irritating to press it again and again.

So we also need to have a mode in Hinglish, which allows me to write a mix of these English and Hindi words. Or for that matter Kannadingish to allow Kannadigas to write "Enjoy madi" without the <**> after 'enjoy'. A mode that identifies Hindi words written in Roman script.

Harry you listening?
