Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system of enabling concurrent real-time multi-language communication between multiple participants using a selective broadcast protocol, the method including receiving at a first server a real-time communication from a first participant, the real-time communication being addressed to a second participant constructed in a first spoken language. A preferred spoken language of receipt of real-time communication is identified by the second participant. A determination is made whether the preferred spoken language of receipt is different than that of the first spoken language of the real-time communication. The real-time communication from the first spoken language is translated and delivered to the preferred spoken language of receipt of the second participant to create a translated real-time communication whenever the preferred spoken language is different than the first spoken language and forwarded without translation when the preferred spoken language of the second participant is the same as the preferred spoken language of the first participant.
