Abstract

An information processing system is communicable with a translation server through a network, and includes a receiver, circuitry, and a transmitter. The receiver receives content data indicating contents expressed in a first language and destination information indicating a destination to which the content data is to be transmitted. The circuitry determines, based on the destination information received by the receiver, a second language as a target language into which the contents expressed in the first language is to be translated. The transmitter transmits, to the destination indicated by the destination information, translated content data indicating contents that is translated by the translation server from the first language to the second language.
