PewTranslateLanguages
106 languages your congregation can choose from
Each listener chooses their own language on their phone; the church does not have to set anything up in advance, though it can limit a service to the languages it chooses. The preacher's language is chosen separately by the operator in the console.
Most languages are delivered as text and voice. The voice comes from the phone itself, so it depends on the voices installed on that phone. 2 languages are marked TEXT ONLY because phones generally have no voice for them.

Before you rely on a language
Translation quality differs between languages. Before announcing a language to your congregation, run a short test stream with a speaker of that language reading along, and check names, Bible references and church words.
