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.

Abstract: Proceeding from a communication terminal equipment (EGD) whereat performance feature names (LMB) can be displayed menu-controlled in order to provide the user with an offering of the available performance features for a potential selection or, respectively, activation of one of these, a check of the authorization of the user for the individual performance features is provided. To that end, a respective performance feature name (LMB) is only communicated to the communication terminal equipment (EGD) for display thereat when the appertaining performance feature is noted as available in an authorization table (GWBP) allocated to the user.
