Although language barriers have proven to be a hurdle for relationships in shows like 90 Day Fiancé, the new series Love & Translation seeks to prove that those barriers don't have to be a complete wrecking ball to romance.
In fact, Love & Translation pushes three singles to rely more heavily on things such as eye contact, touch and pheromones in an effort to find a true romantic partner. A novel idea for a new reality TV dating series. Interested in learning more about it?

Love & Translation premise
Here is the synopsis for Love & Translation:
"In TLC's brand-new relationship series, Love & Translation, three American bachelors travel to paradise where they will be joined by twelve women from nine different countries, who don't speak any English. Without a shared language or the use of a translator, this series explores how singles looking for love come together in the attempt to find a connection. In spending time together and focusing on getting to know one another, Love & Translation will showcase raw, genuine moments in a unique dating environment.
"With challenges that include utilizing the five senses such as uninterrupted eye gazing and pheromone attraction tests, as well as adrenaline-pumping group date activities, these singles will try to learn about each other without the gift of language. And if the singles aren't feeling that loving feeling with anyone, they can pack up their bags and look for love elsewhere. Love & Translation aims to find out what it takes to make a love connection when language is too foreign."
