Abstract
A cellular phone is programmed to convert language and currency of a home country into corresponding language and currency of another country. When the cellular phone is used in the country in which the same communication protocol as that in the home country and the international roaming are available, the cellular phone determines from a received county ID code where it is used. It automatically performs various conversions such as language conversion and currency conversion with reference to a stored language dictionary and a retrieved currency exchange rate, respectively. Thus, travelers are enabled to use the cellular phone to communicate in different languages and shop in different currencies without any language or currency barrier.
