A disclosed apparatus is a message relay apparatus. This message relay apparatus includes: a receiver that receives a message to be transferred; a determination unit that determines whether or not the message relay apparatus can afford to perform a conversion processing, when performing the conversion processing for the message; a selection unit that selects another apparatus to which the conversion processing is requested based on stored information representing other apparatuses that can afford to perform the conversion processing, when the message relay apparatus cannot afford to perform the conversion processing; a requesting unit that requests the selected another apparatus to perform the conversion processing for the message, and receives the converted message from the selected another apparatus; and a transmission unit that transmits the received and converted message to a transfer destination.
