Abstract

The present invention relates to increasing the relevance of media content communicated to consumers who are consuming the media content. In this regard, at least one of a personal device can be synced with a media device, each of the personal device is associated with at least one of a consumer who is proximate the media device. At least one of a preferred human language associated with at least one of the personal device can be determined. The media device or media content can be configured and or caused to be communicated in at least one of the preferred human language to increase relevance of the media content communicated to the consumer. Other embodiments can include communicating at least a portion of the media content on the personal device and selecting relevant media content based in part on language, cultural, ethnic, time, day, occasion, or geography.
