Our team is excited about making BibleProject resources available in many languages! If you don't see a language available on the Languages page yet, here are some ideas that may be a good next step.
Finding subtitles in your language
If you want subtitles in your language, check out YouTube's feature that auto-generates video subtitles for many languages.
To enable auto-generated subtitles for a video, select the gear icon (Settings) > Subtitles/CC > English > Auto-translate > your language. Please keep in mind that if you do not first select the default language, YouTube sometimes doesn't display the auto-translate feature.
Please note: auto-generated subtitles are subject to inaccuracies since they are not created by our team. If there are any concerns regarding the accuracy of these subtitles, visit the YouTube Help Center or the Send Feedback button on your YouTube account profile. Also, auto-generated subtitles are not possible for podcast episodes on YouTube at this time.
Translating written content
Feel free to translate and share our written content (articles, discussion questions, etc.) as long as you follow these Terms of Use:
- Credit the original English content to BibleProject (including a link to the specific resource on bibleproject.com), and clearly note that this translation was done by you (not BibleProject). For example, "Original content by BibleProject [link to resource]. This translated version by [Your Name]."
- Don’t alter the original content. Ensure a faithful and accurate translation.
- Don’t make a profit from any of our content, and do not put BibleProject content behind a paywall.
More extensive translation opportunities
Experienced and qualified teams interested in making BibleProject videos accessible in another language can express their interest by completing our Interest Form.
Teams that we approve to translate BibleProject videos into languages beyond our official language channels operate independently. BibleProject does not provide funding for such projects, and approved teams must clearly communicate that their translated versions are not reviewed, approved, or endorsed by BibleProject.
Due to our limited capacity, we can evaluate and approve only a small number of new translation teams each year. Submitting the Interest Form does not guarantee a response, interview, or invitation to proceed. If your team is selected for further consideration, we will contact you with the next steps.
At this time, we are unable to provide an estimated timeline for review or response. Thank you for your interest and understanding.
