Since telephone answering systems have made great progress together with the telephone system and the market thereof has expanded, the calling party of any country all over the world does not always speak the same language as the outgoing message. Then the conventional telephone answering system wherein one foreign language is recorded on the incoming message tape cannot meet such a world-wide use. The present invention provides a telephone answering system, wherein a foreign language incoming message is recorded and then translated into the owner's own language by the translating device, so that the owner can get the translated message by the remote location. As it takes much time to translate the message correctly at the current technical level, simultaneous translation is not perfect. Thus, according to the present invention, the translation is completed by the translating device during a sufficient period of time after one message is stored in the telephone answering system and before the owner listens to it by the remote control, so that the translated message with good quality can be retrieved from the remote location.
