Questions
Questions about khutbah translation.
How do we translate the Friday khutbah live?
Connect the imam’s microphone or your mixer to a laptop or tablet running Baian, choose your languages and press start. Show the QR code before Jumu’ah. Worshippers scan it and read or listen on their own phones.
Which languages can worshippers follow?
Baian offers 36 live audience languages, including English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Bengali, French, Malay and Indonesian. Some are text only. Your mosque chooses which ones to offer.
How are Qur’an verses handled?
When Baian recognises a verse, it shows the surah and ayah and uses a stored translation of that verse where one is available. Test with your imam’s recitation before the first khutbah.
Do worshippers need to install an app?
No. They scan the mosque’s QR code and follow in their phone browser. The Baian app is for people listening on their own, away from a mosque that uses Baian.
Can worshippers read last week’s khutbah?
Yes. Ended sessions appear under Previous Sessions on your mosque’s page, with the translation in each language.
