\u201cThe Chosen\u201d is officially breaking its own records. <\/p>\n
The first season of \u201cThe Chosen\u201d is now available in 125 languages \u2014 a significant stride toward the biblical drama\u2019s goal of reaching 600 languages and 1 billion viewers<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n For the second time, the biblical drama has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the most-translated season of a streaming series in history. The feat comes shortly after the series received the same record in September<\/a> for translations in 86 languages. <\/p>\n Michael Empric, the official adjudicator and spokesperson for Guinness World Records, presented the award for the world record to \u201cThe Chosen\u201d cast at ChosenCon in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday, before thousands of attendees at the event. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen we see numbers like this, they are able to provide a measuring stick for what\u2019s happening, and we want to celebrate it,\u201d Dallas Jenkins, creator and director of the series, told the audience. \u201cAll those languages mean lives changed. And so we don\u2019t want to stop at 125.\u201d <\/p>\n Some of the 125 subbed languages include Arabic, Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, Flemish, Haitian, Hindi, Korean, Slovenian, Turkish and Vietnamese. Another 240 more language translations are currently in progress. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Chosen\u201d has now surpassed \u2014 twice \u2014 the translations available for television hits such as \u201cFriends,\u201d \u201cSpongeBob SquarePants\u201d and \u201cBaywatch.\u201d <\/p>\n The achievement was largely made possible by the Come and See Foundation, an organization which helps fund and translate \u201cThe Chosen,\u201d and aims to expand the series into 600 languages, which would make the show accessible to 95% of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause of global supporters and the extraordinary work of Come and See and their partners, I\u2019m pretty sure this won\u2019t be the last translation record we break,\u201d said Dallas Jenkins, the creator and director of \u201cThe Chosen.\u201d <\/p>\n While accepting the award, \u201cThe Chosen\u201d team recognized the support given to the Come and See Foundation through donations, prayer and sharing the series \u2014 all of which is required to make the translation process possible. <\/p>\n
