PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a transmitter user to freely offer the information in his own language to other users of different languages by automatically translating the information on an electronic mail, etc., which are exchanged via a network after setting a translating language based on the transmitting destination address and the transmitter address. SOLUTION: An automatic translation unit 55 which is mounted on a mail service unit 10 includes a language identification part 56 which identifies the languages of both translating side and translated side and a translating part 57 which translates the text of an electronic mail based on the languages identified by the part 56. Then the unit 55 can automatically translate the text of the received electronic mail via the part 57 even if no instruction is given from the user of the transmitting or transmitted side. Thus, the unit 55 can transmit an electronic mail that is translated into the language that can be instantaneously understood by the user of the transmitted side. As a result, the information on the electronic mails, etc., can be easily exchanged among the users of different languages via a network 7. Then the contents of the electronic mails can be easily and instantaneously understood. |
