teams have often begun localizing a
video series once the English series
was completed. But for Sermon on
the Mount, several teams started the
localization process while our studio
was still working to complete the 10
episodes. When the Sermon on the
Mount series premiered for English
audiences, a couple localization
teams were able to share the first
episode in their language on the
same day!
In 2024, localized videos
accounted for 40% of the total views
across all of BibleProject’s YouTube
channels! Learn more about our
