What do you do if you have no Arabic ?

I am intrigued. If a person has no Arabic, how do they know which translation of the Koran is the best, especially when translations are sometimes different in several places. God said He sent the Koran in Arabic, because it is easy to understand. So, what if we have no Arabic, what do we do? How do we decide on the correct meaning?

God said He sent the Koran in Arabic, because it is easy to understand.

It does not say that.

I think I got the answer to that. Lets say you DO KNOW arabic. Still its different how different people will translate the meaning. So either way, you end up with different meanings, but the general meaning of it, is very similar. So all you got to do is compare other verses which is on the same subject, compare 2 or 3 translations and come up with your own understanding.

If you know arabic, or read english translations, its still same. Because even Arab people writes the meanings in english differently.
