Live Sermon Translation for Every Language in Your Church

Built for multilingual churches

Sermon Translate is used in multilingual and bilingual congregations to translate the full Sunday service — sermon, announcements, prayer, and Bible reading — into every language the pew needs at once.

What's included

Live translation, automatic Bible verse popups, recorded transcripts, a custom glossary for church-specific names, and large-text captions so members with weaker reading skills can still follow.

• Low-latency captions, anywhere with internet
• Bilingual Bible (native + target side-by-side)
• No headsets, no extra hardware, no interpreter booth
• Plans start at $19.99/month

You choose the speaker language and the translation language

Nothing is locked to one language or direction. Before the service, choose the language being spoken and the language — or languages — the congregation reads. English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese and Cantonese can be set as the source, and English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese, Cantonese and Fuzhounese are available as targets.

• Speaker language picker: choose whatever the pulpit is preaching in
• Translation language picker: each listener can pick their own on their phone
• Supported source languages: English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese, Cantonese
• Supported target languages: English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese (中文), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Farsi / Persian (فارسی), Korean (한국어), Spanish (Español), Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), Filipino / Tagalog, Japanese (日本語), Cantonese (粵語), Fuzhounese (福州話)

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.
