Live Ukrainian translation for your church service
For families who arrived recently and families who have worshipped here for decades: the sermon in Ukrainian on one phone, in English on the next.
Ukrainian-speaking believers are part of many American congregations: Slavic churches founded by earlier generations of immigrants, and English-speaking churches that have welcomed families arriving in recent years. Many newcomers are still learning English, and following a whole sermon in a second language is exhausting, especially for older family members.
Live translation gives them the message in Ukrainian on their own phone while the rest of the church hears the service as usual. Because many Slavic congregations speak both Ukrainian and Russian, you can offer both and let each listener choose.
The generational pattern runs both ways here too: parents who follow best in Ukrainian, and children who now follow best in English.
Which engines support Ukrainian
| Engine | Translates into Ukrainian | Ukrainian-speaking preacher |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Voice (default) | Yes | Yes |
| Live Interpreter | No | Best effort |
Natural Voice, the default engine, translates into Ukrainian. Live Interpreter does not offer Ukrainian as a translation language. As the speaker's language, Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian
If your pastor preaches in Ukrainian, set Ukrainian as the speaker's language and enable English for the youth, spouses and guests. Ukrainian captions for the room are free on every plan.
Illustrative example
Spoken in English
In today's sermon we will see that the Lord is faithful, and that his church is a family for everyone who is far from home.

How Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian.
- They listen with earbuds or headphones, or read the live Ukrainian 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.
