I am a senior missionary in Argentina and am preparing a talk. I am trying to use the church translation of the talks to quote them correctly, but several of the speakers are not translated in the church site or the Gospel Library app. It's past the time it is usually available. Does anyone know when they would be available or have a recommendation of where I can get the most correct translation of the talks? The ones missing are Elder Bednar, Elder Causse, President Uchtdorf, Elder Rasband, Elder Andersen, President Christofferson, and President's Oaks closing remarks.
I noticed something similar when I previously checked on Sunday (also for preparing a talk). Today, going to the
main Spanish page for General Conferences, nothing is listed for April 2026 (but it is for Portuguese and French that I checked). And if I manually type the path for the Spanish April General Conference session using
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/stu ... 4?lang=spa
I see a wide mix of translated and placeholder messages. The sidebar on the left shows talk names (in Spanish) for the translated messages, and simply the speaker name instead of the talk name if the message hasn't been published there yet. Doing something similar for Portugues ("por" at the end of the url) shows all talks translated, and French ("fra") is only missing one.
I'd also note that in the past (and probably again with this GenConf), people have identified cases where a spoken talk is different than the written and published version. And at times even the written versions are different between languages. And of course then the question is which is the most correct version!
My recommendation would be to use a translation app, and simply state at the beginning of your talk that you're using the best approximation currently available.
