Live Tagalog translation for your church service
Filipino families following the sermon in Tagalog, without leaving the main service.
Filipino believers are part of many American churches: Filipino fellowships that meet in their own language, and English-speaking congregations where Filipino families are woven into church life. Many Filipino Americans are at home in English, but for parents and grandparents, especially those who arrived later in life, Tagalog is the language they pray in.
Live translation lets them hear the sermon in Tagalog without anyone stepping out of the service. It works the other way too: a Filipino fellowship's Tagalog sermon can be translated into English for second-generation members and for visitors.
Which engines support Tagalog
| Engine | Translates into Tagalog | Tagalog-speaking preacher |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Voice (default) | Yes | Yes |
| Live Interpreter | No | Best effort |
Natural Voice, the default engine, translates into Tagalog. Live Interpreter does not offer Tagalog as a translation language. As the speaker's language, Tagalog is fully supported on Natural Voice; Live Interpreter understands it at a best-effort level. Listeners hear the translation seconds behind the speaker; the delay varies by engine, language, speech pace and connection.
When the sermon is in Tagalog
For a Tagalog-speaking pastor, set Filipino (Tagalog) as the speaker's language and enable English. Tagalog captions for the room are free on every plan.
The Philippines has many languages. Also on the list: Cebuano. Not offered today: Ilocano.
Illustrative example

How Tagalog speakers 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 Tagalog.
- They listen with earbuds or headphones, or read the live Tagalog captions on screen.
- Nothing to install, no account to create and no limit on listeners — and anyone can switch languages with one tap.
The booth side — audio from your sound board, one Start button — is on How it works.
