Q3 2026

Executive summary

Q3-to-date opened with German and Turkish deepening from 1 to 8 New Testament books each, jumped sharply in July when a new multi-language pipeline took 38 languages to a complete New Testament (10 of them a complete Old Testament too), gained a second front in July's final week — an account menu, Projects, Teams, a Translation Studio hub, and a Platform Administrator dashboard — and then, in August's opening week, jumped again to 57 languages with a complete New Testament while Translation Studio grew a full guided workflow and a Translator Worker API foundation. August's second and third weeks pivoted from generation to consolidation: Library Review shipped end to end, then a Help section, database-backed newsletter/feedback with a real unsubscribe, and admin lead tooling followed, while content generation itself stayed flat for two straight weeks.

What's new

• Change

  57 languages reached a complete New Testament this quarter, 10 with a complete Old Testament too, up from German and Turkish alone at 8 books each. 19 of those 57 completed in August's first week alone.

  Impact

  The quarter's generation output now spans 57 languages of doctrine-checked content instead of two.

  Next action

  Prioritize theologian review recruitment at this new scale for the rest of Q3.

• Change

  Shipped account/identity, Projects, Teams, Translation Studio, and Platform Administrator infrastructure in July's final week, then a guided project workflow and Translator Worker API foundation in August's first week.

  Impact

  Ministry partners now have a real place to organize workspaces, projects, and teams, with a path toward unattended project execution by an external worker.

  Next action

  Onboard the first partner workspace and connect a first external worker before Q3 closes.

• Change

  German and Turkish each grew from 1 to 8 New Testament books in July, then both completed their full New Testament, with 57 languages total now joining them at complete New Testament coverage.

  Impact

  Ten flagship languages have complete Bible coverage, with 47 more at complete New Testament coverage.

  Next action

  Carry review recruitment lessons from these languages into the rest of the 57.

• Change

  Shipped Library Review end to end in August's second week, then a Help section, database-backed newsletter/feedback with a real unsubscribe, and admin lead tooling in the third.

  Impact

  Contested terminology has a working review tool, and volunteers, partners, and admins now have written guides and visible lead/feedback data instead of a spreadsheet.

  Next action

  Name the first volunteer reviewers so the review tool has people using it.

Business impact

Nearly 2,000 book-level pages are now live across 57 languages with complete New Testament coverage, a scale of doctrine-checked content depth that materially strengthens the platform's credibility with prospective ministry partners, who now also have real workspace, project, and admin infrastructure — soon including unattended, non-human execution — to organize their own work once onboarded. Partners and volunteers can now find written answers instead of needing a live explanation, and leads reach admin by email instead of sitting unseen.

Risks

Theologian review capacity, a known gap for German and Turkish since early July, is now a gap across 57 languages of Critical/High-risk doctrine flags — the single largest risk to converting this quarter's generation output into content ministries can actually use, and it has gone three weeks without a named reviewer since the review tool shipped. The build/deploy pipeline needed four separate incident fixes this quarter, three of them in three consecutive weeks, before the week of 16 August became the first in the quarter without one. The 15 August Translation Studio target passed with its own under-construction notice still live through that week; the notice was removed the week after, but the roadmap behind it (an AI-driven chat redesign) remains unscoped, and content generation has now sat flat for three straight weeks, the last of which saw almost no engineering activity at all.

Decisions needed

Leadership: approve a review-capacity plan sized to 57 languages, not two, before Q3 closes, so this quarter's generation output does not sit idle into Q4. Decide whether content generation resumes before quarter close or Q3's remaining weeks stay focused on consolidation, and confirm whether the near-total pause in the quarter's most recent week was deliberate.

Next Quarter

• Recruit theologian reviewers at a scale matched to 57 languages, not two
• Onboard a first real partner workspace onto the new workspace/Studio infrastructure before Q3 closes
• Connect a first real external worker to the Translator Worker API
• Decide whether content generation resumes before Q3 closes
