Abstract
A transcoding system (1) comprises a mobile communication device (2) that retrieves a web resource from a web server (6) using a mobile communication network (3) and the internet (4) via a transcoder (5). The transcoder (5) transcodes the web resource before delivering it to the mobile communication device (2). The process of transcoding the web page is carried out based on style sheet classes and/or meta tags in the web page. This allows a web site owner (7) to control the actions of the transcoder (5) in transcoding the web page.
