A technique for enabling location information associated with an entity in a communication network to be translated from one format to another. A request to translate a location of a first entity from a first format to a second format is generated by the first entity. The request contains a location of the first entity in the first format. The request is forwarded to a second entity in the communication network. The second entity receives the request and translates the location information in the request from the first format to the second format. A response containing the translated location information in the second format is then generated by the second entity and forwarded to the first entity. The first entity receives the response and processes it accordingly.
