Live sermon translation for churches · in development

One Gospel. Many Languages. One Church.

Translator.Church is being built so that a sermon can be followed live in many languages. Your pastor preaches as usual. Each person follows on their own phone, in their own language, by listening, reading, or both, with no app to install.

We are preparing a small founding pilot with churches chosen personally by our founder, so that every service gets real care. Wider availability will follow.

“…everyone heard them speaking in his own language.”
Acts 2:6 · World English Bible
How it is designed to work

Three steps on a Sunday morning

  1. The pastor speaks

    A volunteer starts translation from a laptop running Google Chrome, with the pastor’s microphone connected. One button, and one clear “Live” sign.

  2. People tap or scan

    A QR code, a short printed link, or an NFC tag on the pew opens your church’s own page. No app, and no sign-up.

  3. Everyone follows

    Each person picks a language, then chooses Listen, Read, or Listen and Read, and can switch at any moment of the sermon.

Listen & Read

Listen, Read, or both. Equal choices.

La gracia nos encuentra donde estamos, no donde fingimos estar.

Large, calm text for the whole sermon

Joining

Tap the pew. Or scan. Or type.

Each church will have one permanent address, such as translator.church/j/your-church. NFC tags, QR codes and printed cards all open it, so signs never need replacing.

  • Most recent phones open an NFC tag with a tap; some need NFC switched on first.
  • Every sign also carries a QR code and the short link.
  • Tags hold only the church’s public address, never a password.

Made for everyone in the room

Pastors and church leaders

Preach as you always do. Your church will have its own link, its own team and its own settings.

Sunday volunteers

A short checklist before the service, one large Start button, and plain-language help if the microphone or Wi-Fi misbehaves.

Congregants and guests

Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Choose a language, then listen with headphones, read along, or both.

Before you plan around it

What to know, honestly

We would rather you know the limits now than discover them during a sermon.

  • Translation is done by AI and won’t be perfect. It supports, and doesn’t replace, human interpreters.
  • Presenting will need a laptop running Google Chrome. iPads and iPhones can’t present yet, and other browsers are still being tested.
  • Spoken audio uses each phone’s own voices. Some phones have no voice for some languages; those listeners can still read.
  • Some phones stop speaking when the screen locks. We are testing this on real phones.
  • Every language is tested with native speakers before it is offered.
Languages

Languages we are testing

A language is offered only after it passes testing with native speakers. Until then, it is still being tested.

Our mission

To help every person hear and understand God’s Word in the language of their heart.

Many churches gather people who pray, sing and think in different languages. We are building a tool so the sermon can reach each of them, spoken aloud or written live, without asking anyone to install an app.

“…we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
Acts 2:11 · World English Bible
“So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 · World English Bible

What happened at Pentecost was the work of the Holy Spirit, and we make no claim to repeat it. We are moved by what it shows, that God’s Word is meant to be heard and understood in every language, and we offer Translator.Church as a practical tool in that service.

Founding pilot

Join the founding pilot

We are preparing to welcome a small number of churches, each approved by our founder, so we can support every Sunday closely.

To be considered, write to with your church’s name, city and the languages your congregation speaks. A person will reply.
