Homiletics

Using Homiletics in your language

Switch the app's language, pair it with a Bible in your language, and tell us when a translation looks wrong.

Homiletics is available in seven languages:

  • English
  • Español
  • 简体中文
  • 繁體中文
  • Français
  • Português
  • Kiswahili

Change the app’s language

By default, the app follows your phone’s language. To pick a different one:

  1. On the home screen, tap the gear to open Settings.
  2. Tap App language.
  3. Choose a language. The app switches right away — no restart needed.

Choose Phone language to go back to following your device.

Pair it with a Bible in your language

The app language and your Bible translation are separate settings, so you can mix them however you like — for example, the app in Español with the Reina-Valera 1960, or the app in English with 和合本.

Set your Bible under Settings → Preferred Bible version. Every app language has at least one Bible you can download for offline reading. See Reading offline & choosing a Bible translation.

What changes with your language

  • Everything in the app: menus, step names, help text and the walkthrough.
  • Your weekly study: study names on the home screen appear in your language where available.
  • Printed PDFs: headings on your printed homiletics and word studies use your language.
  • Lecture transcripts: recordings are transcribed in your app language. English uses an English speech model; other languages use a multilingual model. Both run on your device.

One exception: definition suggestions in word studies come from an English dictionary, so they appear only when you’re reading an English Bible.

Found a word that looks wrong?

The translations were written with care, but we’d love your help making them better.

  1. Open Settings → Request help / leave feedback.
  2. Choose Translation issue.
  3. Tell us which words look wrong and what they should say. Your app language and Bible translation are included automatically.

Feedback is posted as a public issue on GitHub, so please don’t include private information.
