He did not say

 

 

My friend in Bethel tell me that this probably included the Spanish language. Also in sign language. But do not know whether subtitled or dubbed.

 

Judging by the custom here in Brazil, I believe that programs will be dubbed, although personally I would prefer that the videos were subtitled.

I think the same. but is unlikely to dubb music videos. these segurament be subtitled, in my opinion. Either way, it will be a great joy for all !!

Since Simplified and Traditional Chinese are identical, only differing in writing, that suggests the program will be subtitled, not dubbed. At least in that language.

 

I heard from one brother from bethel that translation teams can choose if it will be subtitled or dubbed. In Finnish language it will be subtitled. Interesting to see what others have chosen.

Personally, I prefer dubbed because it's very hard to watch the videos and read the subtitles at the same time. You miss a lot of visual details while you're reading.

But whichever way, how wonderful that this outstanding material is going to be made available to so many more of the brothers!

I can confirm that Sweden, Denmark, Norway will be translated from May and in Iceland from June. I heard this together with more than 50 000 brothers and sisters in 6 countries.

we will have brother Mantz as a speaker on saturday in MSweden Sweden and we in the other Scandinavian countries will be tied in. Im sure a lot of languages will come along. This will unite us even more. Thank you Jehovah.

Great news! Thank oyu!

Hope Romanian is in too! Many Romanian brothers and sisters will be soooo grateful!

 

Subscriu surorii Daniela! I mean I second sister Daniela's opinion. I'm pretty confident Romanian is going to be included. Some of the recent videos released in Romanian on our Web site were subtitled rather than dubbed which apparently sped up the release date of the localized video such as Romanian became a top 15 language in terms of video localization.

Does anyone know when the translations should be available for us? We had the letter of the slave in our meeting last wednesday, it said it was starting in May, and as we are the 1st of May, i was wondering if maybe my settings are off. I do hope that we get to chose ( in time seeing as it is time consuming to do these translations in so many languages) beween subtitles and dubbed episodes. Here's why: for all adults i think subtitles are the easiest method, but for the children i would prefer the dubbed episodes. They know the songs in their own language, and that's also the strong point for our young ones, as the films of caleb and Sofie ( in dutch we call them David and Sofie ) and the songs go straight to their hearts. They offer such great joy for our young ones. I'm not saying we should have the option and i'm certainly not saying we should have it straight away. I'm already amazed and i feel blessed that the brothers of the Gb and the slave make such great offers for us! It's really fantastic. Another proof that this is really the one true religion that is had Jehovah's approval! If we compare our blessings and possibilities to those of other religions, we clearly see Jehovah's blessing on the hard work of our brothers

As the May video wont be up until at least the first Monday, it seems that you will have to wait a few more days to check it.

I was reading the 2016 yearbook today and noticed a comment or two from the friends in Kenya saying how much they enjoy JWBroadcasting.  However, I can't seem to access that language from my tablet nor my laptop computer here in the U.S. 

 

Can someone please confirm if JWB is in the Swahili language since September? Thank you.

English is also an official language in Kenya. Perhaps the brothers in Kenya were not referring to watching the program in Swahili.

I've not seen it, maybe they were referring to English. You know, it's like our first language here in Kenya

Quotes from the 2016 Yearbook:

Until recently, many brothers had never heard a member of the Governing Body give a talk. Now, not only can we hear them but we can see them as well. Never before have we felt so united with the Governing Body and with our worldwide brotherhood.”—Kenya 

 

 

“The program drew me closer to Jehovah’s organization and the Governing Body. I know that I belong to a family where there is a lot of love.”—Kenya

 

The "language of their heart" is swahili.  Then too, when I visited Kenya in 1990's I met very few friends who spoke English.  Out in the ministry, it was strictly swahili at every door.
