Live translation for Haitian Creole churches
Your pastor preaches in Kreyòl; the next generation and your guests listen in English, Spanish or French on their phones.
Haitian congregations are part of church life in South Florida, New York, Boston and beyond. Services are often in Haitian Creole, while children who grew up in the US — and the spouses, neighbors and visitors who come with them — follow best in English.
Live translation lets a Kreyòl-language church serve both groups in one service: the pastor preaches in Haitian Creole, and listeners who prefer English, Spanish or French pick that language on their phone.
Translation in the other direction, from an English sermon into Haitian Creole, is not available today: neither of our live engines offers Haitian Creole as a translation language. French is available if your Haitian members follow French; otherwise a human interpreter remains the right choice for now.
Which engines support Haitian Creole
| Engine | Translates into Haitian Creole | Haitian Creole-speaking preacher |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Voice (default) | No | No |
| Live Interpreter | No | Best effort |
Neither live engine translates into Haitian Creole today. As the speaker's language, Haitian Creole works on Live Interpreter at a best-effort level; Natural Voice does not support it. Listeners hear the translation seconds behind the speaker; the delay varies by engine, language, speech pace and connection.
Translating a Haitian Creole sermon
Choose Live Interpreter on the dashboard and set Haitian Creole as your speaker's language. Haitian Creole is in Live Interpreter's best-effort tier, so rehearse with your own pastor and a few bilingual members before you announce it.

Heard and read in English
God loves us very much, and he will never leave us.
A Kreyòl sermon line and the English a listener would hear. Written by our team to show the idea — not a recording of live output, which varies with the speaker, the audio and the engine.
How listeners join on Sunday
- Your church shares its listener link: the QR code printed from the dashboard for the bulletin, a slide or the door, or the link itself in a text or an email.
- They open it in their phone's browser and choose English, Spanish, French or another language your church has enabled.
- They listen with earbuds or headphones, or read the live captions on screen.
- Nothing to install, no account to create and no limit on listeners — and anyone can switch languages with one tap.
