Romanian to Italian, for the children who were schooled in Italian
The parents do not need this. The seventeen-year-old who was born in Torino does — they speak Romanian at home and think in Italian, and an hour of it is a language they only half kept. A parallel Italian channel is how the same service reaches both halves of the same family without either being asked to switch.
Nobody has to choose which language the service is in
A community that switches to Italian loses the older half; one that stays in Romanian loses the younger. Running both from the same voice is not a compromise between them — the speaker keeps their own language and their own register, and the people who need Italian take it on their own phone, quietly, without anybody at the front knowing who did. The organiser sees a count per language, never a list of names, which is exactly the information that is useful and none of the information that is not.

Where Romanian to Italian comes up
Half the audience is in the hall. Half is not.
Congregations abroad, a generation in
The service stays in Romanian and the teenagers follow in Italian. Nobody is asked to declare which one they need — they open a link and pick.
The people watching the stream
Push the audio from OBS or vMix and the broadcast belongs to the session rather than to a browser tab, so it keeps translating with the console closed and whoever is at home hears it too.
A poster you print once a year
A permanent address and a QR code that do not change between services, so the printed sheet on the noticeboard does not go stale after one Sunday.
Common questions
Is a specific Italian Bible translation used?
No — five languages have an edition named to the model and Italian is not among them. On a worship account the instruction is wording from a published translation for a quoted verse rather than a fresh paraphrase. For a congregation abroad there is a second thing worth putting in the glossary beside the verses: the Romanian names your community keeps using — the church, the ministries, the people — so they are not quietly turned into Italian ones.
Can people at home use it as well as people in the hall?
Yes, and it is the same broadcast. They open the same link, pick Italian and listen or read. If your audio comes from an encoder rather than a laptop microphone, the broadcast keeps running even after whoever started it closes the console.
Will we know who used it?
No, and that is deliberate. You see how many people were on each language, live and afterwards, and nothing that identifies any of them. For a teenager deciding whether to switch to Italian in front of the whole congregation, the absence of a list is what makes it usable.
Can somebody in the community do the translating instead?
Yes, once an admin has switched that language on for interpretation and the person has a seat in your organization. Then any output language can be handed to them on the same broadcast — one interpreter per language, for as many languages as you have people for. Listeners on that language hear them by default and can switch to the AI at any time; while they stay with the person you pay the connection rather than the translation.
