Most religious organizations have members whose native language is different from the language spoken at their weekly services. Some parishes have tried providing human interpreters to address this issue, but that solution is too expensive and complicated for most organizations to implement.
Wordly solved this problem with our AI real-time translation solution. Now you can address the multilingual challenge for church services or any other events where attendees speak multiple native languages.
Expand Your Reach - Many congregations have a global audience. Wordly enables churches to expand their community by allowing both speakers and attendees to participate in their preferred language. This makes attending your services more accessible for everyone.
Church Translation Use Cases Include:

This guide summarizes the options for making religious services more inclusive and accessible - and includes an overview on how AI translation & captioning solutions can work for your congregation.
Download NowWordly makes it easy to add live translation and captions to your weekly services with a comprehensive solution that includes personalized support and training to get you up and running quickly.
Many religious organizations start with a Wordly Pro+ Package that includes 52 hours of live translation and captioning, which is enough to cover one weekly service for one year. If you have more than one service per week, or your services last longer than one hour, you can add additional hours to your package at any time.
In addition to your weekly services, you can use Wordly for community events, retreats, staff training, and a wide range of other meetings and events - both in person and virtual as well as for videos.
Since all Wordly languages are included for one fixed hourly price, you can easily manage your budget.
All Church Translation packages include:
Live AI Translation and Captioning - you get live translation of your services into both audio and text output - attendees can choose whether they want to listen and / or read.
Extensive Language Options - Each attendee can select their preferred language from dozens of options which come standard with every Wordly subscription. Since Wordly provides multi-directional translation, we can support thousands of language pairs (e.g., English to Spanish, Spanish to Vietnamese, French to Spanish, etc.). You can conduct the service in English, Spanish, or dozens of other Wordly supported languages. See all language interpretation options.
Customizable Glossaries - You can create a customized glossary of names and other important terminology unique to your church that you want to make sure are translated correctly.
