Christian ministries often seek translations of their texts due to the complexity of Christian translation, which can be difficult for conventional translators to grasp. Their goal is to ensure that everyone can access and comprehend the true message behind the written words. Translating Christian texts involves balancing faithfulness and fluency to uphold the originality of the text and ensure it connects with the audience. This includes tasks such as selecting translators, overseeing editing, maintaining theological accuracy, managing typesetting, conducting quality assurance, and meeting deadlines. In most cases, regular translation providers struggle to capture the meaning of the original text and misunderstand terms and terminology, compromising the integrity of the translation and the message it aims to convey.

Christian Lingua is a translation ministry that offers faith-based translation services and has a deep understanding of theology and biblical studies. It operates 10 specialized departments and employs 1,500 certified Christian translators, editors, typesetters, and voice talents worldwide to offer translation services, subtitling, and overdub work in 220 languages across different countries at highly affordable prices.

“We're here to serve, not to sell. We go the extra mile for every client, working alongside them to understand their needs and meet their deadlines,” says Michael Yurchuk, general manager of Christian Lingua.

The company is a one-stop solution for a variety of services, including translation, editing, theological proofreading, typesetting, InDesign typesetting, overdubbing, captioning, and video editing. This eliminates the need for clients to seek multiple vendors for various tasks. Christian Lingua also provides text translation for apps, video overdubbing, subtitling, or digital formatting. It emphasizes pricing to ensure its services remain accessible to clients without compromising quality, fostering long-term relationships with clients who appreciate the transparent and budget-conscious approach.

The client engagement process involves communicating with them through calls or emails and compiling information regarding the project, its scope, and its deadline. Christian Lingua’s distinctive trait lies in understanding the client’s perspectives and needs rather than just responding to them. The collected data is sent to the executive team for thorough analysis before presenting a proposal to the clients. Once the proposal is approved, an agreement is signed, marking the official commencement of the project.

Consequently, a dedicated project manager is assigned to oversee the project, coordinating teams like translation, voice-overs, and typesetting. Christian Lingua uses advanced web-based project management tools like Wrike, along with communication platforms like Slack and secure servers for file storage and sharing. It also employs strict quality assurance procedures and vigilant quality control measures throughout the project cycle.

The company handles difficult and intricate projects with demanding workflows. For instance, it has successfully translated a 69-volume commentary series spanning over 44,000 pages into 25 languages and translated, overdubbed, and subtitled 25,000 minutes of Christian videos into 14 languages for Right Now Media.
