Removing the language barrier from spiritual truth - one language at a time.

Why This Matters

The Problem

95% of Urantia Book secondary works - study aids, commentaries, teaching materials - exist only in English.

Why It Persists

Traditional translation is slow and expensive. A single book can take years and tens of thousands of dollars. Billions are locked out - not because the content doesn't exist, but because it hasn't been translated.

The Solution

Spiritual Translations changes this. We use AI to cut translation costs by 95% while maintaining quality that reads like it was written by a native speaker who knows the material. The sample above was produced by our Portuguese pipeline, validated in April 2026.

How It Works

We build language-specific AI translation models, each trained alongside a bilingual reader who knows the revelation.

Build the AI engine

A core translation engine powers every language. Built once, reused everywhere.

Train a language specialist

For each language, we partner with a bilingual domain expert to create a language-specific model that understands the revelation's terminology and concepts.

Translate at scale

Feed in a text - out comes a translation that reads like it was written by a native speaker. At 5% of the traditional cost.

Built to Be Self-Sustaining

SPT serves two markets: the Urantia Book community and commercial publishers who need spiritual text translation. Revenue from commercial clients funds revelation translations directly. Every commercial project brings us closer to the next language. Your donation today seeds the engine - the engine funds itself going forward.

How You Can Help

Your donation to the Center for Unity goes directly toward building the next language. Every language we add unlocks the revelation for millions more people.

Know a bilingual UB reader?

We need native speakers who know the revelation to help build each language. Introductions are invaluable.
