Translation is a ministry, not a checkbox
A parish that prays in several languages needs translators who can see the English, the context and what changed — not a machine output published without review.
A weekly bulletin is a pastoral document.
If your parish is wrestling with files, translations, print deadlines or a public page that nobody can find, tell me what your week looks like. The first conversation is a look at the work, not a pitch.
