Indonesian Church Sermon Translation, Live

Sermon Translate translates a sermon preached in Bahasa Indonesia into English captions, or an English sermon into Indonesian, while the pastor speaks. Indonesian churches abroad can serve newcomers and a second generation in one service.

Newcomers and the second generation together

Indonesian congregations abroad welcome students and new arrivals who read Indonesian, alongside children who grew up reading English. Indonesian preaching with English captions, or the reverse for a guest speaker, keeps them in one room.

What Sermon Translate does in Indonesian

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

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

Built in and not built in

The 66 book names come from the Terjemahan Baru, so a spoken book name is written the way that Bible writes it. Church titles and doctrinal terms are general translation; add the words your church uses to the church glossary. Javanese and Sundanese are also available as caption languages.

  • Indonesian to English captions
  • English to Indonesian captions
  • Javanese and Sundanese captions for members who read them best
