Romanian Church Sermon Translation for Two Generations

Keep the Romanian service, keep the young people

Romanian churches abroad face a familiar choice: keep preaching in Romanian and lose the children who read English, or switch to English and lose the parents. Romanian preaching with English captions on the screen serves both in one service.

What Sermon Translate does in Romanian

Romanian works in both directions: a preacher can speak Romanian into the app, and members can read the sermon in Romanian.

• The 66 Bible book names are built in for Romanian, taken from a published Romanian Bible, so a spoken book name comes out the way that Bible writes it. Other church vocabulary is general translation guided by church context, and your church glossary fixes the terms that matter to you.
• Verse popups cannot show the passage in Romanian yet, because the Bible editions connected today cover only English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Filipino / Tagalog.

Guest preachers both ways

When an English-speaking guest preaches, flip the direction: English as the speaker language, Romanian captions for the congregation. The church glossary keeps your pastors' names, choirs and ministries spelled the same in both languages.

• Romanian to English for the second generation
• English to Romanian for guest speakers and conferences
• Livestream captions through the Copy OBS URL button on the Subtitles screen

Choirs and congregational singing

Sung lyrics are much harder to recognize than speech, so captions during music will be poor. Many churches pause captions during singing and project the song text as they already do.

How a church sets up Romanian captions for a service

One laptop, tablet or phone near the pulpit does the work. Give it clean sound from the sound desk or a microphone close to the preacher, sign in, choose the language being preached and Romanian as a reading language, and start. The room reads the captions on the projector through the Subtitles screen, online viewers see them in the livestream through the OBS overlay, and members who prefer their own phone scan a QR code with QR Code Join, included in every plan, and read with no account.

• Before the service: add names, ministries and church terms to the glossary, and choose a Bible version for verse popups
• During the service: keep the device on power and online; captions follow the preaching sentence by sentence
• After the service: the transcript is saved to the account, and the Standard plan turns it into AI sermon notes

Which Romanian Bible do the book names follow?

The Dumitru Cornilescu translation.

Can we caption the livestream too?

Yes. The Subtitles screen gives a Copy OBS URL button that adds the captions to OBS or Streamlabs as a transparent Browser Source.

Can a verse popup show the Romanian Bible text?

Not yet. The Bible editions connected to verse popups today cover English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Filipino / Tagalog.

What does it cost to show Romanian captions every Sunday?

Every account gets 1 free hour every month of live translation, enough to test a full service. Basic is $19.99 a month for 12 hours and Standard is $34 a month for 30 hours. Free and Basic include one reading language, Standard includes two and All Languages includes every language. Each language beyond that uses another hour of plan time for every hour of the service.

Can an English sermon be translated into Romanian live?

Yes. Choose English, or the language your pastor preaches in, as the speaker language and Romanian as the reading language. Romanian can also be preached into the app, so a Romanian sermon can be read in English or another language.
