Using the Language Translator

When you choose a language, the text currently visible on the page will be translated.

If you open a different Bible chapter, comparison view, commentary, or other newly loaded material, you may need to select the language again so the new text will also be translated.

Automatic translation may not match a published Bible translation in that language. For precise study, compare the wording with a trusted Bible translation in your own language.
