In another aspect, the order of accented characters can be based a frequency of occurrence of the accented character in the current language being typed by the user. In another aspect, when a character is at edge of a display, the popup is visually displayed in a different location and the ordering of the accents in the display are set with the more frequently occurring accents being more quickly accessible. In another aspect, auto correction is used to correct accented equivalents for compounds. In another aspect, a different visual keyboard layout is provided for different languages.
