Why English-speaking churches reach multilingual pews

Most translation apps were built for tourists, not pulpits. Sermon Translate keeps the preaching register, theological terms, names and Bible references accurate across every language your congregation speaks.

• Low-latency captions on the sanctuary screen, a livestream or each member's own phone
• Bible verse popups in Chinese, Korean, Persian, Spanish and more
• No app install, no headset, no interpreter booth
• Custom glossary so church names and terms stay consistent in every language

中文: Traditional Chinese captions with Chinese verse popups

Sermon Translate renders theological terms correctly in Traditional Chinese and pops up Bible verses from 和合本 (CUV), in Traditional or Simplified characters.

• Traditional Chinese captions, with 和合本 verse popups in Traditional or Simplified characters
• Chinese Bible book names and chapter-verse formatting
• Localized for Mandarin and Cantonese preaching contexts

한국어: Korean preaching register, honorifics and Bible names

Korean is a first-class pair. English → Korean output keeps the formal preaching register a Korean pulpit expects, applies honorifics correctly to God, pastor and congregation, and uses Korean Bible book names.

فارسی: Persian with right to left captions

Farsi/Persian congregations get the same low-latency captions with full right-to-left layout and Bible verse popups in Persian.

Español: Hispanic and bilingual ministries

English → Spanish is tuned for church vocabulary so Hispanic and bilingual congregations follow every point, announcement and prayer in natural Spanish.

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 an English-to-multilingual service this Sunday

Open Sermon Translate on the speaker's laptop, pick English as the speaker language, and choose the reading languages. Multiple mode shows up to 5 languages side by side, and the Subtitles screen projects several caption languages for the whole room.

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.

Can one English service be translated into Chinese, Korean, Persian and Spanish at the same time?

Yes. Multiple mode translates one English sermon into up to 5 languages at the same time, and the Subtitles screen can project several caption languages together.
