What does tri-bible.ai do for ministries?

We help churches and ministry networks translate their Bible study curriculum into other languages through AI-assisted translation, supported by faithful human review, so your teaching can reach believers in their heart language.

Who is this for?

Church leaders and ministry networks who have Bible study curriculum they’d like translated into one or more additional languages, whether that’s a single study, a full teaching series, or an ongoing curriculum library.

What information do you need from us to get started?

Just the basics to start the conversation: your name, email, country, city/region, and time zone, along with your ministry website, the type of curriculum you’d like translated, a short description of it, which languages you’d like it translated into, and your general timeline.

What kinds of curriculum do you work with?

Any format: topical studies, book-by-book Bible studies, leadership development material, or something else entirely. If it doesn’t fit neatly into a category, that’s fine; just describe it and we’ll take it from there. For your source study materials, we prefer Markdown files; we can also accept PDF, HTML, JSON, or Word documents.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight, human-readable plain-text formatting language. Instead of using software like Microsoft Word to format text, or writing code like HTML, you use simple keyboard symbols, like asterisks or hashtags, to make text bold, create lists, or build tables. Using Markdown is mostly just typing text and adding those symbols to guide the formatting. You can write it in any text editor, like Notepad or TextEdit, and then use a Markdown processor or app to turn it into a formatted document, like a webpage or PDF.

What languages can you translate into?

We support a wide and growing range of languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, and Vietnamese, among others. See the Library for the full, current list. If your target language isn’t listed, let us know; we’re expanding our language coverage regularly.

How do you ensure translation quality and theological accuracy?

Every translation is AI-assisted and then reviewed by experienced church leaders and Bible teachers to check theological accuracy, cultural clarity, and natural communication in the target language, so your curriculum stays faithful to Scripture while reading naturally to your audience. We also perform a back-translation of every document, translating it back into the source language so you can see exactly what changed through the translation process. We don’t translate word for word; we aim for the same understanding in the reader’s own language and culture. See an example here.

Can I work independently?

Yes. Download your target language’s Requirements bundle from the Library, then translate it yourself with your own AI tool (Claude, OpenAI, Copilot, and others all work). Two steps: first, upload the requirements zip to your AI tool along with your content, with the prompt “Translate this according to the attached requirements.” Second, ask it to translate the result back into the original language, then in a new prompt: “Compare the original to the back translation in git-diff style. Start with an executive summary of changes, and package this as a single HTML file that includes all the CSS and JS.”

How quickly can you turn around a project?

That depends on your needs. We work with ministries across a range of timelines, from projects that need to start right away to those planned for next quarter or further out into next year. Let us know your timeline and we’ll talk through what’s realistic.

Will you share or sell our contact information?

No. We never share or sell your email or contact information.

What happens after I submit the form?

Our team will follow up and invite you to schedule a one-on-one conversation to talk through your curriculum, languages, and timeline, and to explore next steps together. You can also book that conversation directly.

Is there a cost to partner with tri-bible.ai?

Our goal is to offer this service to your ministry at no cost, and we don’t make donation requests. We rely on the people and resources the Lord provides to sustain this work. We’ll still talk through your project scope and needs together during your one-on-one conversation.

Why does this matter?

Because every ministry has a story to tell, in every language. Your curriculum, translated faithfully, can reach believers who are waiting to hear it in the language they understand best.
