1. A method in a communication system for translating messages that are directed to a called subscriber into a language that is dependent upon the called subscriber, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing selector information designating a language that is allocated to a relevant subscriber for internal subscribers in the communication system;
storing display texts, in the communication system, for a dialogue operator interface of internal terminal devices in several languages;
forming the selector information dependent on the language of the display text for the dialogue operator interface that is selected by a subscriber;
comparing the selector information of a calling subscriber, when a connection is set up, to the selector information of the called subscriber; and
automatically activating a loop-in function, when items of the selector information of the calling subscriber differs from the selector information of the called subscriber, which effects an insertion of a translator into the connection.

Abstract
A method and system for automatically translating messages in a communication system wherein, when a connection is set up between a calling terminal device and a called terminal device, a first item of selector information identifying a language that depends on a calling subscriber is compared to a second item of selector information identifying a language that depends on a called subscriber. If the items of selector information do not match, a translator is looped into the connection automatically.

8. A system in a communication system for translating messages, that are directed to a called subscriber, into a language that depends on the called subscriber, the system comprising:
-
a text memory in which display text for a display operator interface of internal terminal devices are stored in several languages; subscriber-specific storage elements in which an item of selector information that identifies a language that has been selected for the subscriber terminal is respectively stored; at least one translator for translating at least one of spoken language and text; and a control unit for controlling a loop-in function that effects an insertion of a translator into a connection between the called subscriber and a calling subscriber in cases when the selector information allocated to the called subscriber is different from the selector information allocated to the calling subscriber.
