a controller to output to the display unit, information relating to content input in the first language and to execute at least one of first control and second control when outputting the information,

wherein the first control to control the display unit to output the information in the first language, and

wherein the second control to convert the information in the first language into a second language that is different from the first language and to control the display unit to output the information in the second language.

2. The mobile terminal according of claim 1, wherein the first control is set to be executed by default, and

in response to selection of the second control based on a touch input, the second control is to be executed.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein in response to selection of the second control based on the touch input, the controller to control the display unit to display a selection window, the selection window to select which of a text input and a voice input is set to a first-language selection manner.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein in response to a touch input at the selection window, the display unit to display a text input window or a voice input window.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the information relating to content input in the first language is converted to the second language based on a predetermined condition, and the information relating to the content is output, at the display unit, in the second language.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5, wherein when a total number of the second languages based on the predetermined condition is 2 or greater, the display unit displays a screen to select one of the second languages.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when wireless communication is performed with another party having contact information stored in an address book of the mobile terminal, the controller changes a language in which the text or the voice is received from the another party.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when wireless communication is performed with another party having contact information stored in an address book of the mobile terminal, the controller selects a language suitable for the another party and sets the selected language to the second language.
