The Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has activated an instant translation device at the Two Holy Mosques under the "In Their Languages" program, aimed at strengthening communication with the Guests of God and delivering awareness and guidance content in several world languages, enriching their religious and knowledge experience during the Hajj season.

The program is part of the presidency's efforts to develop services for pilgrims and Umrah performers by using modern technology and artificial intelligence to ease the delivery of religious and guidance messages to different nationalities and cultures.

Instant Translation into 17 World Languages

The device translates guidance and awareness content directly and instantly into 17 world languages, using advanced technology built on fast, highly accurate processing of speech and text.

The system eases communication with pilgrims from around the world and ensures religious and guidance messages are clearly understood inside the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque.

Modern Technology for the Guests of God

The launch reflects the presidency's drive to draw on modern technology and artificial intelligence in developing religious and guidance services at the Two Holy Mosques.

The program also aligns with the digital transformation goals through which the Kingdom seeks to raise the quality of services for pilgrims and Umrah performers and deliver an easier, more effective experience for visitors.

Removing Language Barriers Among Pilgrims

The presidency affirmed its commitment to supporting quality technology initiatives that remove language barriers and enable pilgrims to benefit from awareness and guidance services in different languages.

"In Their Languages" also strengthens civilizational and cultural communication and conveys the moderate message of the Two Holy Mosques to the world in its many languages and cultures.

A Richer Religious and Knowledge Experience

The instant translation device is an important step toward enhancing the pilgrim experience inside the Two Holy Mosques by providing professionally translated religious and guidance content that helps them understand instructions and benefit from awareness programs with ease.

These initiatives support the Kingdom's efforts to serve the Guests of God and offer advanced technology solutions that elevate the services provided during the Hajj and Umrah seasons.

Digital Transformation in the Service of the Two Holy Mosques

The bodies responsible for the Two Holy Mosques continue to launch modern technology initiatives that develop religious, organizational and guidance services, reflecting continued attention to delivering a complete and safe experience for pilgrims and Umrah performers.
