Church Translation
Running a church service where not everyone speaks the same language? Translync translates the speaker in real time and delivers it to every attendee's phone — no interpreter booth, no receivers to hand out, and nothing for anyone to install.
The Challenge
- !Booking interpreters for church services means paying for a full day even when you need two hours, and finding them at all for less common languages
- !Interpretation equipment has to be delivered, set up, tested, collected and paid for as a separate line item
- !Receivers and headsets add cost per attendee, and someone has to hand them out and get them back
- !A guest who turns up needing a language you did not plan for cannot be accommodated
How Translync Solves This
Create a session and pick which languages your church service needs
Put the QR code on a screen, in the programme, or on a card on each seat
Attendees scan it and choose their language — it opens in their phone's browser, with nothing to download
The speaker talks normally; transcription, translation and audio reach every listener in under two seconds
Why organizers choose Translync
$3 per hour per language, billed by the minute — a two-hour church service in three languages costs $18
Works on any phone with a browser, so there is no app to install and nothing to distribute
Speaker diarization keeps track of who is talking when a church service has several presenters
Add a language on the day, even mid-session, without booking anyone
Custom glossaries, so names and terms specific to your church service come through correctly
30 free minutes to run it against your own content before you decide
Languages
Attendees at a church service each choose their own language, so several can be listening in different ones at the same time. These are the most requested:
70+ languages are supported in total, and you can add one during the session if a guest needs it.
Pricing
A one-hour church service in one language costs $3. Three languages for two hours costs $18. Billing is by the minute, so a session that runs short costs less.
30 free minutes included with every account — no credit card required.
Common questions
How many languages can one church service run at once?
As many as you need. Each attendee picks their own, so ten people can be listening in ten different languages at the same time. You are billed $3 per hour for each language actually in use.
Do attendees need to install anything?
No. Scanning the QR code opens a web page in whatever browser their phone already has. There is no app, no account and no sign-up for listeners.
How much delay is there?
Translated audio reaches listeners in under two seconds, so they follow along about a sentence behind — roughly what a human simultaneous interpreter delivers.
Is it accurate enough for a real church service?
For most church services yes, and you can check before committing: 30 free minutes is enough to run your own material through it. Where terminology matters, load a glossary so specific names and terms come out the way you want.
What if the venue's internet is poor?
The speaker's device needs a stable connection. Listeners need very little, since they are receiving audio rather than sending it — mobile data on a phone is enough.
