Bilingual Wedding and Funeral Translation for Churches
At a wedding or funeral where the families speak different languages, Sermon Translate can show the pastor's message in each family's language while it is spoken. Afterwards, Conversation Mode helps the pastor speak with relatives who do not share a language.
Both families hear the same message
A wedding between two families with different languages, or a funeral where relatives flew in from abroad, often leaves half the room guessing. The officiant speaks normally, and the message appears in up to 5 caption languages on a screen, or on guests' phones.

- Multiple mode shows up to 5 languages side by side on one device
Before and after the ceremony
Conversation Mode lets the pastor meet the family with one phone between them. Each person speaks their own language and reads the other's words, translated, on their own half of the screen, and either half can be flipped to face someone across the table.
Plan for the names
Weddings and funerals are full of names. Add the couple, the deceased, family members and places to the church glossary beforehand, so they are spelled correctly in every language, and test the setup in the room before the day.
Can vows be translated?
Spoken vows are captioned like any other speech. For words that must be exact, many couples print the vows in both languages as well.
Does it need internet?
Yes. It does not work offline, so check the venue's connection.
Does it speak the translation aloud?
No. Guests read text captions.
