Processing a transmission between a user and a database (30), involving determining whether the transmission relates to a query (10a) or a response (70a) from the database (30), and if it relates to a query (10a), restricting translation to a list of predetermined translation relations (20); and if it relates to a response, looking up (40) the list to find a translation relation for a word in the response, and if no such translation relation exists for the word in the list, transmitting the word to a translation service (50) to subsequently receive a translation relation between the word and a corresponding word in the user language, which translation relation is stored in the list (60). <??>Consequently, words transmitted between the database (30) and the user are only translated by means of a translating service (50) - where ambiguities can be introduced - when the words are supplied from the database. <IMAGE>
