Chinese to Korean Live Sermon Translation

Why Chinese → Korean congregations choose Sermon Translate

Most translation apps were built for tourism, not preaching. Sermon Translate is tuned on church vocabulary, hymn titles, and proper nouns, so theological terms render correctly in 한국어.

• Low-latency captions from speaker to 한국어
• Bible verse popup in 한국어 when the pastor references it
• Runs in the browser on phones, tablets and laptops, with no app install required
• Custom glossary so Chinese names and church-specific terms stay consistent

Mandarin preaching, cleaned up before it is translated

When Chinese is the speaker language, recognized speech is converted to Traditional characters and spoken Bible references are tidied before translation, so a spoken 馬太福音五章十三到十六節 becomes the reference 馬太福音第5章第13-16節 instead of a run of garbled numbers. A Cantonese preacher can choose Cantonese (粵語) as the speaker language instead.

• Chinese numerals in references turned into chapter and verse numbers
• Common mishearings of Bible names corrected before translation
• Simplified characters from speech recognition converted to Traditional

Korean captions with Korean Bible names and 장/절 references

Korean output goes through a pass of Korean church terms and Bible book names, so a reference is shown as 요한복음 3장 16절 and 1 John as 요한일서 rather than a literal rendering. Verse popups come from the Korean edition your church picks.

• Verse popups from 개역한글 (KRV)

You choose the speaker language and the translation language

Nothing is locked to one language or direction. Before the service, choose the language being spoken and the language, or languages, the congregation reads. English, Traditional Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Vietnamese and 53 more can be set as the source, and English, Traditional Chinese, Cantonese, Fuzhounese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and 115 more are available as targets.

• Speaker language picker: choose whatever the pulpit is preaching in
• Translation language picker: choose the reading language for the screen, and members using the app on their own phone pick their own
• 61 languages can be spoken from the pulpit, and all 123 can be read as captions
• The full list, and which ones have built-in Bible book names, is on the languages page

How to start Chinese → Korean translation this Sunday

Open Sermon Translate on the speaker's laptop, pick Chinese as the speaker language and Korean as the translation language, and put the captions on the projector with the Subtitles screen. The congregation reads along in 한국어 from their seat, and members who want captions in their hand can use Sermon Translate on their own phone with their own account.

How do churches translate sermons live with this app?

The speaker opens Sermon Translate on a phone, tablet or laptop, selects the spoken language and the translation language, and starts listening. Transcripts and translations appear on that device, and the whole room can read them as captions on a projector or livestream. No headsets, no interpreter booth, no extra hardware.

Which languages are supported?

Sermon Translate supports 123 languages. 61 of them can be spoken from the pulpit, including English, Traditional Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Vietnamese and 53 more, and all 123 can be read as captions. Every listener can pick their own reading language. The full list is on the languages page.

How is this different from Google Translate or generic AI translation apps?

Google Translate is a powerful general-purpose translator. Sermon Translate is designed around the workflow of a Christian service: church vocabulary, hymn titles, proper names, Bible book names, and verse-reference popups that appear when the speaker clearly references a passage.

Do we need to install anything?

No. It runs in a modern browser on iPhone, Android and desktop. The speaker opens it on one device, and the congregation reads the captions on the projector or livestream. Anyone who wants captions on their own phone opens Sermon Translate there and signs in; each listener needs their own account or trial after the free period.

Can it replace a human interpreter?

Sermon Translate works as a sermon interpreter app for live services and handles common preaching vocabulary well. A church can use it as the main translation for weekly services, or alongside a human interpreter for rare languages or high-stakes events. It is a tool, not a person.
