Hindi Church Sermon Translation, Live

Sermon Translate translates a Hindi sermon into English captions, or an English sermon into Hindi, while the pastor speaks. South Asian fellowships can serve Hindi speakers and English speakers in one service.

One fellowship, many South Asian languages

South Asian churches often bring together Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati and Urdu speakers, with young people who read English best. Hindi preaching with English captions is one option; an English sermon with several South Asian caption languages is another.

  • Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and Urdu can all be preached in
  • The Subtitles screen shows up to 5 caption languages together
  • Each reading language uses plan time of its own: two reading languages during a one hour service use two hours of the plan.

What Sermon Translate does in Hindi

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

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

Bible book names in Hindi

The 66 book names come from the Hindi Old Version, so a spoken book name is written the way that Bible writes it. Doctrinal terms and church titles are general translation, so add the Hindi wording your church uses to the church glossary.

Hinglish and code switching

Preachers who switch often between Hindi and English in one sentence are harder to caption, because the app listens for the speaker language you choose. Test your preacher's style during the free trial.

Can the app handle a sermon that mixes Hindi and English?

It listens for the one speaker language you choose, so frequent switching lowers accuracy. Try it with your own preacher first.

Which Hindi Bible do the book names follow?

The Hindi Old Version.

Can a verse popup show the Hindi 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.
