The Quran was revealed in Arabic. There is a translation in every language out there. it is read in every language however many Muslims recite it in Arabic. the meaning of Quran is to read aloud. if you would like further assitance please e-mail me as i can guide you further. It includes chapters on Jesus Christ, Moses and Mary. The Quran also has never been changed.

The Quran, the last revealed word of God, is the primary source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.
Note that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad in Arabic only. So, any Quranic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Quran, nor a version of the Quran, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of the Quran. The Quran exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.
it is translated to too many languages so that ppl could read about it.
hope that helped.
peace.

"The Qur'Än has been translated into many languages, including English. These translations are considered to be glosses for personal use only, and have no weight in serious religious discussion. Translation is an extremely difficult endeavor, because each translator must consult his or her own opinions and aesthetic sense in trying to replicate shades of meaning in another language; this inevitably changes the original text. Thus a translation is often referred to as an "interpretation," and is not considered a real Qur'Än. Just as Jewish and Christian scholars turn to the earliest texts, in Hebrew or Greek, when it is a question of exactly what is meant by a certain passage, so Muslim scholars turn to the Qur'Än in Arabic."

The Qur'an is in Arabic. Everything else is an interpretation of the meaning of the Qur'an. It can be interpreted in other languages.

all languages.
but to understand it in its entirety reading it in Arabic is the best.
Because Arabic is it's original language, so Arabic is the one that it is best understood in.
But because of the fats Muslim growing rate, there Spanish, Greek, Chinese, Malaysian, Urdu, Turkish and English Qurans.
And many many more.
My family actually owns a Spanish bible as well as an English and Arabic one.
God Bless

Although most Korans are published in Arabic, it is a little known fact that all versions are translated from the original Klingon.
