Abstract

A data processing system (20) allows a user of a pager to receive an electronic message in a language of their own choice rather than the language of a message sender. During operation, the data processing system is enabled to receive (12) an incoming message and, subsequently, detect a language of the incoming message. If the language is different than a default language of the user, the message is translated to a default language of the user (34). The message is then be displayed (40) on a screen of a paging device in the language preselected by the user or provided via a voice synthesizer (50) for an audio message. The choice of use of a visual display or use of the voice synthesizer is preselected by the user.
