Abstract: A method and system are provided that facilitate multilingual communication and international social networking. In one respect, the system and method allow individual social network users to instantly message, or chat, with others in the social network according to personally-selected filters. For example, a user may choose to filter others in the social network by age, gender, location, political preference, relationship status, and even hobbies and interests regardless of any personal acquaintance between the user and filtered members. In another respect, the system and method provide automatic and real-time translation of any text or messages conveyed over the social network so that each user may easily communicate with each other user, regardless of any usual language barriers. Translated text and messages may be further cached in electronically stored memory for ease of future translation.
