Global Translation

Global Translation is the language layer of the whole Fotoh ecosystem, built for one person in particular: the man who attends Jumu‘ah every week without understanding the language of the imam. The design is live subtitles of the khutbah in the listener’s own language, carried by a curated Islamic term dictionary so that dhikr does not become merely “remembrance”. Nothing is deployed. The backend is written and type-clean; no translation provider has been chosen, no key exists, and the phone-side wiring is a scaffold. It is not a standalone app: it is a shared capability of the products around it.

What it does

• Designed: live subtitles of the khutbah in the listener’s own language
• Built, not deployed: a curated Islamic term dictionary so technical terms keep their precise meaning — 176 entries today, with English the only complete language
• Designed: sold to masjids as an add-on alongside MMS
• Nothing is live. No provider is selected and no key exists.
• A scholar’s lecture is never re-hosted or re-voiced. Where Fotoh has no agreement with the scholar, it links and attributes and does nothing else.

How it connects to the ecosystem

Translation is designed as a shared capability rather than a product a person buys: live inside Live Athan, archived inside Meathanah. None of those paths is wired today.
