Abstract: A method of and a system for translating digital contents based on the capabilities of a receiving device. When the receiving device sends a request for digital contents, the request includes identification of the type of receiving device. The content source or an intermediate translation component identifies the capabilities of the receiving device, such as whether the device is capable of providing color, graphics, sound, etc., and the size of the display screen on the receiving device. The content source or translation component then assembles a set of translation documents based on the identified capabilities and translates the digital contents in accordance with the assembled set. The translated contents is provided to the receiving device.
