I would prefer to say "all translations". I am always disappointed with the
Arabic translations. A related language is still a different language, a
different
network of 'spaghetti'. And the culture is different. And history. A
language
encodes a culture, a culture is encoded in a language. You cannot truly
know one without the other.
