Could you build this?
No Developing an operating-system-level Input Method Engine (IME) on macOS that intercepts keystrokes and runs real-time trilingual language disambiguation requires deep OS-level C/Swift programming and NLP models.
What it would actually take: Must be implemented using macOS InputMethodKit in Swift/Objective-C, intercepting raw key events at the OS level while adhering to Apple sandbox constraints. The hardest part is maintaining sub-10ms keystroke-by-keystroke language inference between English, Korean (Hangul decomposition/composition), and Japanese without lag, requiring custom trie-based n-gram language models running natively in memory.
