Before you start: Translations are set for the whole church, so only the church's owner — the person who set up the account — can save a change.

Good to know

  • You can only star a translation you've ticked — tick it first, then its star comes alive.
  • The small badges on a reply include the Bible translation, so you can check at a glance.
  • For a Catholic church, star New Living Translation, Catholic Edition: it has the whole Catholic Bible, so Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach and Maccabees are quoted too.

If it’s not working

ESV and NIV say License pending

We're working on securing a license for that translation. Until then neither one can be starred, and a church that already had one starred gets its verses in the NKJV. If you'd rather choose the stand-in, star the NKJV or the CSB.

I can't untick a translation

At least one translation always stays ticked. Tick the one you want first, then untick the other.

It says “Only a church owner can update church settings.”

You're on a staff seat. Translations belong to the whole church, so ask your church's owner to change them in Settings → General.
