is to have someone who is a very good spanish speaker do simultaneous translation for you. We put a window into a small storeroom (housed breakers etc) in our balcony and ran a mic cable and headset cable from our board (also in the balcony). We installed a microphone there and our translator can see me and hear the sermon thru her headphones. She then translates into her mic which is wirelessly sent to these headphones below thru the transmitter which comes with the system (i use her a lot in South America on Missions trips and she is a asst. pastor as well so she understands all the concepts as well and knows the correct words to translate too). Then we installed this systemwww.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=821492&gclid=Cj0KEQjw09C5BRDy972s6q2y4egBEiQA5 guv2Y2MIMBiG dsgjCNWe GPfXNTFN-oZMghQN9h61fdAaAsqA8P8HAQ&is=REG&ap=y&m=Y&c3api=1876%2C92051678882%2C&Q=&A=detailswhich is a wireless headset. Each Spanish speaker gets their own headset to use and it works great. We only translate the announcements & sermon however. These headsets are wireless and rechargable at a base station and can be packed into a box when not in use. Works great.

Those translators they use on Star Trek are cool. But I'm sure they are expensive and they have not been invented yet.

Thanks for clarifying QW. This is the advice of an old man so you can take it or leave it. If it were me, I would talk to my state office about a Hispanic congregation or pastor looking for an opportunity. What you may discover is that there is a Spanish speaking pastor or a new congregation looking for a facility near you. You can partner with them and still be the mother church or let them rent your facility. They are often very flexible with schedules. In my experience that is much more effective than trying to translate. Something to keep in mind is that the culture and worship styles are often very different.
