The General Authority for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has dedicated a Department of Languages and Translation, providing translation services to pilgrims inside the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque in numerous global languages. These services are offered through various programs, applications, and electronic platforms serving visitors, worshippers, and pilgrims, including guidance, answering questions, direct translation of sessions and lessons, and deploying skilled translators throughout the Two Holy Mosques who speak twenty-one languages. Additionally, sign language interpretation is provided for people with disabilities.

The sermons and lessons in the Two Holy Mosques are also translated through a set of dedicated FM radio frequencies. This allows listeners to hear the sermons in several global languages, including the most commonly used languages among visitors and Umrah performers.

The translation of sermons is available through the 'Manarat al-Haramain' platform, which is part of the website of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque. This platform is easily accessible and allows users to listen to sermons in multiple language options.

The translation of sermons at the Two Holy Mosques is part of the broader translation services that benefit pilgrims and visitors in various aspects, such as scientific lessons, answering questions, and addressing various inquiries from visitors, whether in the internal prayer areas or the external courtyards and facilities.
