Abstract
An execution apparatus (10) such as a user PC identifies that translation of generic code representation is required (e.g. Java bytecode included or referenced as part of a web page downloaded from a content provider (20)), and requests a translation of the generic code representation from a remote translation apparatus (30), i.e. a translation server. A translated native code version of the generic code representation specific to a particular execution environment (10) is identified and sent from the translation apparatus (30) immediately ready for native execution on the execution apparatus (10) at full native speed. This avoids perceived slow start-up and unresponsiveness associated with interpretation or compilation of generic code representation at the execution apparatus (10).
