In an October 30 report originally produced with Mission Network News, Transform Iran said it is using an offline-capable translation tool intended to reduce security risks for translators working in dangerous settings. The ministry projects that a New Testament could be completed in about one year rather than 18 months; it says an AI-only process might be faster, but it is allowing additional time for human involvement.
Transform Iran also reports that AI-driven streamlining reduced its estimated cost per translated verse from $35 to $15. Several translation teams are funded and working, while other prepared teams are waiting for funding.
These are ministry projections and internal cost estimates, not completed-translation results or an independent evaluation of translation quality. The organization says its goal is Scripture that supports church planting and formation rather than merely producing text.
