Abstract
Video data are transmitted to a receiver. A language menu is displayed from which a user selects a language that can be different from the original language broadcast with the video data. Video data identification information and language identification information corresponding to the language selected from the menu is derived and transmitted to e.g. an Internet server. The identification information is used to select an audio translation data set from several audio translation data sets stored in said server, wherein each of said several audio translation data sets includes a language translation of original audio data related to said video data. The selected audio translation data set is sent to the receiver and reproduced synchronously together with said video data.
