Korean to Vietnamese Live Sermon Translation

Translate sermons from Korean into Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) live, with low-latency captions and automatic Bible verse popups. For Korean-preached services with Vietnamese-speaking members.

Why Korean → Vietnamese 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 Tiếng Việt.

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

Korean preaching as the source language

Choose Korean as the speaker language and the sermon is recognized in Korean, then translated for the members who read another language. Church glossary entries are stored per language, so one Korean term can have a required Chinese form and a different required Spanish or Vietnamese form.

Vietnamese captions and the 1934 Vietnamese Bible

Vietnamese readers follow the sermon in Vietnamese, and verse popups come from the 1934 Vietnamese Bible (Bản Truyền Thống 1934). Names of members and ministries can be fixed in Vietnamese in your church glossary.

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 Korean → Vietnamese translation this Sunday

Open Sermon Translate on the speaker's laptop, pick Korean as the speaker language and Vietnamese as the translation language, and put the captions on the projector with the Subtitles screen. The congregation reads along in Tiếng Việt 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.
