Visit the Member, Not the Translator
Two people speak naturally in their own languages. Each sees the other's words translated on their half of the screen.
How Conversation Mode works
Both speakers share a single microphone. The app detects which language is being spoken and translates it into the other person's language. Person A's column shows B's words translated; Person B's column shows A's words translated.
180° flip for face-to-face conversations
Tap the flip button on either column to rotate that side 180°. Two people sitting across from each other can both read the screen right-side up. On desktop the columns stay in place; the rotation only affects the text panel.
Use cases
Pastoral visits, prayer, counseling, small-group discussion, newcomer conversations, short-term mission teams, and mixed-language family meetings.
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 on any listener phone that scans the session QR code. No headsets, no interpreter booth, no extra hardware.
Which languages are supported?
Sermon Translate supports 11 app languages: English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese and Cantonese as spoken sources and English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese, Cantonese and Fuzhounese as translation targets. Every listener can pick their own reading language.
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; the congregation scans a QR code or visits the link. Each listener needs their own account or trial after the free period.
Can it replace a human interpreter?
Sermon Translate is designed for low-latency live sermon translation and handles common preaching vocabulary well. Many churches use it as the primary translation layer for weekly services; others use it alongside a human interpreter for rare languages or high-stakes events. It is a tool, not a person.
