Facebook wants to establish a foundation for "long-term relationships" by allowing users to search their half on the platform. Basically, this feature allows you to create your own Facebook profile and this profile is only visible to those who also use the dating feature. After that, Facebook will connect users together based on interests, mutual friends and common interests. Its messaging feature will also be separate and only available for 'safety reasons'.

The translation feature will be released this year for users in the United States, but will only support two languages, English and Spanish, when it is first released.
