Short-codes that get swapped out for longer words and/or phrases are very useful, especially when dealing with multiple languages, however, I've been unsuccessful in figuring out how to get this to work on my Android phone.

For example, let's take the well-known omw (on my way) and lets say I wanted my phone to auto-complete and have it written out in Urdu:

میں اپنے راستے پر ہوں

Alas this isn't working :( I've added the translation to my phone's personal dictionary however, regardless of which keyboard I use, I'm unable to get the omw to be spelled out in English, let alone any other language.

Has anyone been successful in getting this to work on Android?

Phone Specs (if that matters):
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Android 4.1.2
Carrier: VZW
