Mosque translator for sermons and lectures
Khotba Translate is a mosque translator without an interpreter and without headphones. What the imam or speaker says in Arabic appears as a translation within a few seconds: large on a TV or projector in the hall and on visitors’ phones. For the Friday sermon, but also for lectures, classes and halaqas.

How it works
Set up in a few minutes. All you need is a phone and a screen with internet.
An ordinary smartphone close to the imam or speaker listens along. No extra microphone, mixing desk or installation needed.
The Arabic is turned straight into fluent English, Dutch, French or German, using Islamic terms the way mosques use them. Quran verses get a fixed, recognised translation.
The translation is shown large on the screen in the mosque. Visitors read along on their own phone through a link or QR code, even from home.
For every gathering
The mosque translator works for every Arabic talk: the khutbah on Friday, the lecture after the evening prayer, a class for young people, a halaqa or the Eid sermon. That way everyone can take part, including those who don’t speak Arabic: young people, converts and guests.
Every translated sermon or lecture is kept in the archive, to read again or share.
After registering you get free trial credit. After that you pay per package of hours, without a subscription. See the prices.
