Arabic Church Sermon Translation with Right to Left Captions

For Arabic-speaking churches and the churches that host them

Arabic-speaking believers come from many countries and church traditions, and many join English-speaking congregations. Sermon Translate lets them read the sermon in Arabic in the same room, and lets an Arabic-speaking pastor preach to a congregation where the young people read English more comfortably.

• Arabic preaching with English captions for the second generation
• English preaching with Arabic captions, written right to left
• Arabic and English lines can share the projector screen

What Sermon Translate does in Arabic

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

• The 66 Bible book names are built in for Arabic, taken from a published Arabic 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 Arabic yet, because the Bible editions connected today cover only English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
• Arabic captions are laid out right to left.

Arabic and Farsi ministry side by side

Churches that serve both Arabic and Persian speakers can show both caption languages at once: the Subtitles screen projects up to 5 languages together, and Farsi has the full built-in church vocabulary. Each reading language uses plan time of its own: two reading languages during a one hour service use two hours of the plan.

Check it with your own sermon

Arabic is spoken very differently from region to region, and a preacher's own dialect affects recognition. Run the free 3-hour trial with a recording of your own preacher and a native reader before you rely on it for a whole service.

Which Arabic Bible do the book names come from?

The 66 book names were taken from the New Arabic Version (Ketab El Hayat), so a spoken book name comes out the way that Bible writes it.

Does it handle Arabic dialects?

The app hears Arabic and translates what it recognizes, but clarity and dialect affect accuracy. Test with your own preacher during the free trial.

Can a verse popup show the Arabic Bible text?

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