Read the Book of Mormon and the standard works in any of 14 languages, and tap any word to see what it means in the language you choose — instantly, offline, with no account required. READ IN 14 LANGUAGES Read in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, or Hindi.

Scripture texts are provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
