Each control retains an easy-to-tap target. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#197e6d0pewtranslate-197e6d0Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTLoading links lead to the home page in your language. Screen-reader navigation labels and the message shown when JavaScript is disabled are translated, and page titles and search metadata stay clean in right-to-left languages. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#ab02879pewtranslate-ab02879Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Arabic pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#cea9acepewtranslate-cea9aceFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Russian pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e02f7b5pewtranslate-e02f7b5Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Korean pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#53c3c69pewtranslate-53c3c69Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Japanese pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#46f487dpewtranslate-46f487dFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Brazilian Portuguese pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#d903460pewtranslate-d903460Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe French pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#316af59pewtranslate-316af59Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe German pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a28106dpewtranslate-a28106dFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Spanish pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#7456828pewtranslate-7456828Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Traditional Chinese pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#81c379fpewtranslate-81c379fFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Simplified Chinese pages and controls use clearer, more natural language while keeping the same prices, features and account availability. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#1c0dc59pewtranslate-1c0dc59Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTPages stay visible while another language loads. Usage totals, language lists and recovery links read as complete messages in all eleven languages. Language notices sit below the header so they do not cover page actions, and the Arabic header now fits narrow phones. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8774e74pewtranslate-8774e74Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTChurches can now choose Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian or Arabic alongside English. The home, setup, pricing and shared product pages, along with operator and listener controls, are available in those languages. Prices remain in US dollars, and accounts remain closed while churches can request early access. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3289a62pewtranslate-3289a62Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTLanguage choices keep you on the same page when a translation exists and explain any fallback. Public pages load less text before it is needed, and service reports and downloads show times in your own time zone. English remains the only published interface. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a245e9epewtranslate-a245e9eFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTPublic pages now use English addresses under /en, and existing links lead directly to the same pages. The language menu remembers a manual choice, including the preference saved to each account. English remains the only published interface while the site gains the foundations for additional languages. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#9ecd579pewtranslate-9ecd579Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTSign in with your Google account, which shows your name and photo in a menu at the top right, or with your email and a password you can show while typing. Confirmation and reset emails each work once and lead straight back to the page you were on, and a password reset signs you in. These open when accounts do. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#d31f3ddpewtranslate-d31f3ddFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn the home page demo, the Listen button shows when the sentence is being read and lets you stop it, and says so when the browser has no voice for that language. The site search opens the first match when you press Enter and has a close button for phones. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8416cddpewtranslate-8416cddFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe home page's first screen is shorter, so the live demo of a Sunday service comes into view sooner. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#34e7a75pewtranslate-34e7a75Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe phone in the home page demo has a Listen button that reads the translated sentence aloud with the phone's own voice, as the real listener page does. The Korean guide now uses plain words instead of the names of app screens. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#0017076pewtranslate-0017076Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe contact form on the home page now sends your message straight to us and confirms it by name, instead of opening your email app, which did nothing on computers without one. It keeps what you wrote if sending fails. The site search finds guides and language pages, and the header button that opens the demo is called Watch the demo. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#cbc4249pewtranslate-cbc4249Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTSection labels and outline buttons on the home page are darker, and small links have a larger area to tap on phones. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3089924pewtranslate-3089924Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe analytics tools now load after your first tap or scroll, or a few seconds after the page has loaded, instead of competing with the page while it starts. On a simulated mid-range phone this cut the time the page was busy from about 150 ms to under 25 ms. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#287a61bpewtranslate-287a61bFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe home page headline is solid colour instead of gradient-filled text, faint labels are readable, and flag images load in a few hundred bytes each instead of up to 143 KB. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#55efa86pewtranslate-55efa86Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe site, its legal pages and the files for AI assistants now give hello@pewtranslate.com as the contact address. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#00cc2d4pewtranslate-00cc2d4Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen someone shares a PewTranslate link in a chat or on social media, the preview now shows a listener's phone in a pew with a live translated caption, next to what the service does, instead of a plain text card. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#d9def63pewtranslate-d9def63Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTEvery guide, comparison and language page now has a title and summary short enough that Google shows them without cutting them off, and the page explaining live sermon translation is titled as that explainer, so searches find the right page. Small labels and buttons on these pages are darker orange, so they are easier to read. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#58aee23pewtranslate-58aee23Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe guides, the pricing page and the files for AI assistants no longer describe signing up, the free credit or topping up as if accounts were open. Addresses that are not a page now answer as not found right away. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#865a6a4pewtranslate-865a6a4Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAccounts on pewtranslate.com are not open yet, so the start buttons now ask for early access through the contact form instead of opening a sign-up form that could not work. The site says plainly that new accounts will start with $20 of free credit once they open, and the login page explains the same with a link to the live demo. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#4e77ca7pewtranslate-4e77ca7Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe site now lists an email address that is read, in the contact section, the page data search engines see and the files for AI assistants, in place of an address that could not receive mail yet. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#6c886a2pewtranslate-6c886a2Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe privacy policy and terms now name the operator and the date they take effect, and give an email address for legal notices and data requests in place of the placeholders. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3ea14d8pewtranslate-3ea14d8Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTMicrosoft Clarity no longer sets its own cookies on pewtranslate.com, and the privacy policy now names each cookie that PostHog and Microsoft set when the site measures visits. PostHog discards IP addresses. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#5eb5644pewtranslate-5eb5644Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTpewtranslate.com/privacy, /terms and /blog now open the privacy policy, the terms of service and the guides. Every page also tells the browser not to share full page addresses with other sites, and the account and admin pages cannot be shown inside another website. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#cec9c33pewtranslate-cec9c33Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf signing up or logging in cannot reach the PewTranslate server, the form now says so in a plain sentence instead of showing a technical error, and it no longer suggests that your password was wrong. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a2270a0pewtranslate-a2270a0Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe page-visit and key-step measurement described in the privacy policy now runs on pewtranslate.com, with PostHog and Microsoft Clarity projects of its own. Copies of the site opened on a computer for testing send nothing. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3ce93f2pewtranslate-3ce93f2Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTMistyped or outdated addresses now show the page-not-found screen with links home, to the guides and to the language list, instead of a blank page, and addresses that can never be a page answer with a not-found status. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8c5599fpewtranslate-8c5599fWed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe interface language button in the menu now shows the current language by name and is easier to tap, and typing in its search box no longer zooms the page on iPhones. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#9c69fc5pewtranslate-9c69fc5Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTFollowing a link from one page to another, such as a "Keep reading" card or a footer link, now opens the new page at its beginning instead of partway down. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#25c84ebpewtranslate-25c84ebWed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTGuide, language, comparison and pricing pages no longer contact the sign-in server when you have not signed in, which removed a set of browser errors on every page. Breadcrumb and footer links are larger and easier to tap on a phone. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#b2d4b40pewtranslate-b2d4b40Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe static hosting preparation now lets content pages open at their canonical addresses without a trailing-slash redirect loop. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#1c57c23pewtranslate-1c57c23Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe email that confirms a new address now describes the free credit the same way as the site: $20, about 4 hours of translation into one language. Its backup link also wraps on a phone screen instead of running off the edge. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#c1f4a95pewtranslate-c1f4a95Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe sign-up form now says what the "Try it free" buttons promise: each new email address gets $20 of free credit, about 4 hours of translation into one language, once it is confirmed, and no card is needed. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#337173bpewtranslate-337173bTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA mistyped or outdated address such as a language or guide page that does not exist now shows the site's page-not-found screen, with links to the guides and the full language list, instead of the listener's "Service not found" message. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#dbacaf9pewtranslate-dbacaf9Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe guide to planning a bilingual service now appears under Related on the Spanish and Korean pages and on the preaching and welcoming guides; the Vietnamese and Arabic pages are linked from the Chinese and French pages. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e52784apewtranslate-e52784aTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTFaint grey text, the listener's LIVE and OFF AIR labels, the listener settings buttons and some links now have stronger contrast; two buttons gained names for screen readers, and wide tables can be scrolled with the keyboard. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#0d5a95cpewtranslate-0d5a95cTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe "Book a Demo" button now opens the live demo of a sample Sunday service, with a free trial link and a way to ask for a live demo, instead of a placeholder for a video that did not exist yet. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#46503a3pewtranslate-46503a3Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA new church's dashboard now asks for the church name and suggests choosing a page address, which gives a church page with one QR code for your services, instead of showing the sign-up email and "Domain not set". https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#f167698pewtranslate-f167698Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe listener and church pages no longer download the text of the whole website, about 100 KB less. On a slow mobile connection the listener's controls now appear roughly half a second sooner. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#d70c88fpewtranslate-d70c88fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTListeners whose phones are set to Spanish from Mexico, the US or Latin America now start in Latin American Spanish instead of Spanish from Spain, unless the church offers only one. The language search also finds languages typed without accents, such as "espanol". https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#80b0270pewtranslate-80b0270Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA new guide compares five ways to run a service in two languages and covers songs, Scripture readings, prayer, announcements and the sermon, including where live translation helps and where it does not. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e1b642epewtranslate-e1b642eTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe confirmation and password reset emails now explain what they are for, that links work for 30 minutes, and how to get a new one. If you try to log in before confirming, the page points you to Forgot Password?, which also confirms your address. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a75fd3fpewtranslate-a75fd3fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Chinese languages guide no longer suggests Multi Language mode for services that switch between Mandarin and English, because that mode does not cover Chinese; it now suggests choosing the language spoken most. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#aad819fpewtranslate-aad819fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTStarting a stream with a preacher language that speech recognition cannot handle now says so by name and asks for another language, instead of reporting a connection problem. Hebrew (Israel), Spanish (Spain and US) and Filipino are matched to versions recognition supports. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e0f1b2fpewtranslate-e0f1b2fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf speech recognition cannot connect, the stream now stops with a plain explanation instead of staying live with nothing coming through, so listeners are not left waiting. A short network drop during a service is reconnected automatically. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3b9165bpewtranslate-3b9165bTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf a sentence cannot be translated into a listener's language, their phone now marks it "Not translated: original language" and reads it with a voice for that language, and the service report no longer lists it as a translation. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#7a4d286pewtranslate-7a4d286Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf translation into a listener's language stops working, the console now shows one line naming the language, explaining that those listeners see the original text and are not billed, and clearing itself when translation works again, instead of a new error after every sentence. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#ccd9189pewtranslate-ccd9189Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTListener choices such as Arabic (Egypt), French (Canada) or Urdu (India) are now translated into the main language where the translation service has no regional version, instead of falling back to the preacher's original words. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#f3484a0pewtranslate-f3484a0Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA new Languages guide covers Arabic: which Arabic to choose, right-to-left text, Christian names and terms worth checking in a test run, and preaching in dialect. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3114127pewtranslate-3114127Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTListeners who choose a right-to-left language now see each sentence aligned and punctuated the way it is read, instead of in a left-to-right layout.

The Korean guide now says that Multi Language mode does not cover Korean. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#b72ccc9pewtranslate-b72ccc9Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen fewer than ten minutes of balance are left during a live service, the console now warns you, with a Top up link that opens in a new tab so the stream keeps running. A top-up made during the service now extends it instead of the stream stopping when the starting balance runs out. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#220c3bcpewtranslate-220c3bcTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn the Top Up dialog, each amount now shows the translation time it buys in one language ($20 is 4 hours), and the dialog shows your current balance with the time it covers. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8ba169epewtranslate-8ba169eTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAccount → Top Up now takes you to a secure payment page in the same tab. When you come back, your balance tab says the payment was received and updates the balance within about 30 seconds. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a273642pewtranslate-a273642Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTChanging your Custom URL moves your church page, so its old link and printed church page QR code stop working.

If the browser won't allow copying, the page says so and shows the link in a box you can select and copy yourself. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#62bb675pewtranslate-62bb675Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen a sentence in a CSV transcript starts with a sign a spreadsheet treats as a formula (such as =, + or -), it now starts with an apostrophe so Excel and Google Sheets show it as text instead of running it. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#f378b2fpewtranslate-f378b2fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn a service report, the Full Speech button is now called Show as one text. It joins the transcript into one block for notes or a newsletter, word for word as recognised; it does not rewrite or summarise. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#d0497d9pewtranslate-d0497d9Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn Account → Subscription, the list under your balance is now called Payments and credits and says where streaming costs appear: they are taken from your balance when a stream stops and listed under Usage and in each service report. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#6e98f62pewtranslate-6e98f62Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf someone opens a link or QR code for a service that has been removed, the page now says so straight away instead of showing an empty player for several seconds, and offers the church's current services when the link came from your church page. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#b98a4bdpewtranslate-b98a4bdTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe plain-text and Word downloads of a service report now include every translation under each sentence, not only the original. The CSV opens in Excel with accents and non-Latin scripts intact and names each language. To download the original only, untick Show translations first. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e0149ecpewtranslate-e0149ecTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf the streaming computer loses its internet connection, the console now says so at once, because listeners are not receiving the translation until it is back. If the connection is lost for long enough that the stream ends, the console tells you when it reconnects so you can start again. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#84350cepewtranslate-84350ceTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf a listener's phone loses its connection, the page now says so straight away, and it reconnects as soon as the network is back instead of waiting up to a minute. Sentences spoken while the phone was offline are not shown afterwards. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#fe06359pewtranslate-fe06359Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe console's "Ready to stream" guidance is now easier to read, and screen readers announce the connection indicator correctly. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#3c7ba92pewtranslate-3c7ba92Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTSign-up and password reset now say up front that a password needs at least 8 characters including a number, and tell you exactly which rule a password missed. After resetting your password you see a confirmation, and an expired reset link offers to send a new one. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#4b5aec9pewtranslate-4b5aec9Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTPages such as the home page, pricing and guides no longer open a live connection to our servers. Only the console and the listener page connect, which keeps the live service fast for the people actually streaming and listening. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#858d786pewtranslate-858d786Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf your church page is public, search engines and AI assistants now read it as a church, with its name, description, location and website, so people looking for a church with translation are more likely to find you. Private church pages stay out of search as before. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#7cec999pewtranslate-7cec999Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe website now sends its pages and scripts compressed, about a quarter of the previous size, so the home page appears in roughly half the time on a slow mobile connection. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#fd5199dpewtranslate-fd5199dTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen your balance is empty, the dashboard message now has a Top up button, and trying to add a service shows the reason with a Top up link instead of a browser pop-up. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#69e6394pewtranslate-69e6394Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe dashboard's "Your first service is ready" tip now appears only until your first stream. Signing in on a new laptop or phone no longer shows it again. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e16fe0fpewtranslate-e16fe0fTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTYou can now add a service and open a stream report from History with the keyboard alone, and open a report in a new tab. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#704ca70pewtranslate-704ca70Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe logo picker in Account → Profile has been removed: it showed a preview but never kept the picture, so your church page shows your initials instead. Each profile field is now named for screen readers, and clicking a field's name puts the cursor in it. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#0222c2apewtranslate-0222c2aTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIf your balance is too low to start a stream, or runs out during one, the message in the console now has a Top up button that opens the top-up window, so you no longer have to find your way to the Account page. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#5bb770cpewtranslate-5bb770cTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn a service's Advanced settings you can now offer only the languages your church needs. Listeners' phones then show just those languages, a QR code can only preselect one of them, and a phone that was set to another language switches to an offered one. Choose All languages to offer every language again. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#19844cfpewtranslate-19844cfTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTYou can now delete your account in Account → Settings → Account Removal by typing your email address to confirm. It removes the account with its services, transcripts and balance history. If you have paid balance left, you can ask for it to be refunded in the same step; the free sign-up credit is not refunded. Stop any live stream first. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#da439bcpewtranslate-da439bcTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe privacy policy and terms of service are now linked at the bottom of every public page, so you can read them before you sign up, not only from the sign-up form. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#41c019cpewtranslate-41c019cTue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAccount → Subscription no longer shows monthly plans that could not be bought. It shows the one price, $5 per hour per language, your balance and your top-ups, and its wording about worship songs now matches the pricing page. Voice options that are not ready yet say so instead of asking you to upgrade. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#97e68a2pewtranslate-97e68a2Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAfter signing up, the dashboard tip that says "Click Translate" used to close on that click without opening your service. Now one click opens the service, on phones held sideways too. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#ea2c901pewtranslate-ea2c901Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe orange speech-bubble icon now shows a P for PewTranslate, on browser tabs, phone home screens and link previews. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#4f7ce58pewtranslate-4f7ce58Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe service has a new name, PewTranslate, and a new address, pewtranslate.com. Search listings, link previews, account emails and the contact address use the new name. Listener settings saved on a phone, such as language and text size, start fresh once. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#0306da1pewtranslate-0306da1Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe home page now says that silence and pauses are not billed, matching the pricing page. If the microphone picks up sung lyrics during worship, they can be recognised as speech and counted, so start the stream at the sermon or mute the translation feed during music. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#787a49dpewtranslate-787a49dSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe home page now describes the service as live sermon translation for churches in search results, and the details search engines and AI assistants read about our price and free credit come straight from the prices the app charges. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#a3e33afpewtranslate-a3e33afSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTTo learn which parts of the site help churches get started, we can now measure page visits and key steps such as signing up, starting a stream and topping up, with Microsoft Clarity and PostHog. They see an account number, never your email address, and transcripts are hidden from recordings. The privacy policy lists both providers. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#c6545b4pewtranslate-c6545b4Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe site, its search listings, link previews and account emails now use one web address, with a contact mailbox on the same domain. Church pages keep the same path after the domain, for example /your-church. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#0b4ba53pewtranslate-0b4ba53Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe free sign-up credit now arrives once your email address is verified, and each address receives it only once, including after an account is deleted or with a "+" alias. When you close your account you can ask for a refund of the balance you paid for and have not used; the sign-up credit is never refunded. The terms and privacy policy explain both, and the option appears on the account deletion screen in a coming update. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#1c00b01pewtranslate-1c00b01Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTTo keep the free sign-up credit fair, one network can create only a few accounts per hour. If you hit the limit, the sign-up form asks you to try again in an hour. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#00b372apewtranslate-00b372aSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTBehind the scenes, each service can now be limited to the listener languages its church chooses, and a church is only charged for languages it offers. The setting appears in the translation console in a coming update; until then every language stays available, as before. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#bd6cbd5pewtranslate-bd6cbd5Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe privacy policy and terms of service linked from the sign-up form now exist. They explain what is stored about churches and listeners, which providers process it, and how the prepaid balance works. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#e2f75cdpewtranslate-e2f75cdSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA stream that used up the balance now stops and is charged instead of continuing, an account can no longer run two streams at once on the same balance, and deleting a service right after stopping it no longer skips its charge. A slow translation service can no longer freeze a stream. Behind the scenes, account deletion and online payment for top-ups are prepared; both still need their screens before you can use them. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#416455fpewtranslate-416455fSat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTNew pages explain the product, supported languages, how it compares with other options, and how to run a translated service, along with this changelog. Churches that opt into search now have public pages that search engines can find. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#4167968pewtranslate-4167968Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe total payments figure in Account no longer includes the free sign-up credit; it adds up the top-ups you actually paid for. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#726de9bpewtranslate-726de9bFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTCopying a service link in the translation console now confirms that the link was copied. If the browser blocks the clipboard, the link is shown in a field so it can be copied by hand. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#685ed70pewtranslate-685ed70Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe dashboard, translation console, account, history and menus fit better on phone-sized screens, and dropdowns and buttons are easier to tap. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8b35c32pewtranslate-8b35c32Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe home page shows a sermon sentence appearing as live text on the operator's laptop and then as translations on listeners' phones. Visitors can switch the demo phone to their own language. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#9a93a10pewtranslate-9a93a10Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA new logo, browser and home-screen icons, and link-preview image, with consistent page titles across the app. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#671b0bfpewtranslate-671b0bfTue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTA stream that ends unexpectedly, for example after a server restart, is now closed and charged only for the speech that was translated. A sentence that fails to translate reaches listeners untranslated, is not billed, and the operator is told. Each account runs one live stream at a time, a church address that is already taken shows a clear message, and a repeated top-up request is credited only once. https://pewtranslate.com/en/changelog#8a9c2fapewtranslate-8a9c2faTue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTChurches stream a service from a laptop browser; listeners scan a QR code and follow the sermon live on their phones as text and voice in their own language. Includes church pages with permanent QR codes, service reports with transcripts, and a prepaid balance with free starting credit.
