System and method for providing a translational dictionary
First Claim
1. A method of providing a translational dictionary, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at a communications device a signal from a network;
recognizing at least one target language from the receipt of the network signal;
comparing the target language to a base language of the communications device;
selectively transferring to the communications device a translational dictionary of the target language if the target language does not match the base language.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method (400, 500) of providing a translational dictionary. The method includes the steps of receiving (416, 516) at a communications device (114) a signal from a network (116), recognizing (418, 518) at least one target language from the receipt of the network signal, comparing (420, 520) the target language to a base language of the communications device and selectively transferring (434) to the communications device a translational dictionary of the target language if the target language does not match the base language. In one arrangement, if the target language does not match the base language, the method can also include the step of notifying (430) a user that the translational dictionary of the target language is available for transfer and giving (432) the user the option of accepting the transfer of the translational dictionary of the target language.

8. A method of providing a translational dictionary, comprising the steps of:
-
storing at least one translational dictionary in a memory of a communications device;
receiving at the communications device a signal from a network;
recognizing at least one target language from the receipt of the network signal;
comparing the target language to a base language of the communications device; and
accessing from the memory the translational dictionary if the target language does not match the base language and if the translational dictionary corresponds to the target language.

9. A communications device that provides a translational dictionary, comprising:
-
a transceiver for receiving a signal from a network; and
a processor, wherein said processor is programmed to;
recognize at least one target language from the receipt of the network signal; and
compare the target language to a base language of said communications device;
wherein the network selectively transfers to said communications device a translational dictionary of the target language if said processor determines that the target language does not match the base language. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
