Introduction
Translation is unique to humans and two other species of Physical realm who also enjoy freedom of freewill, the Angels and Jinn. Dictionaries and Encyclopaedias define translation as the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. It is rendering, conversion or transference of something written in one language in the words of another language. It is transmission of texts over linguistic boundaries.
Translation is an old activity that man has practiced since ancient times. Its necessity was felt because of variation and diversity in the languages of the peoples which in itself is a pointer-thought provoking existential for the knowledgeable people.
Another concept that collocates with translation is interpretation. It is defined as transference of meaning of spoken and heard words in the language of second person. The difference between the two is of real time versus delayed. Interpreting occurs in real time. It happens in person. An interpreter transfers the meanings in both directions, on the spot, without any reference material. Interpreter is thus fluent in both the languages.
Translation is a delayed activity because it takes place long after a text is created. It gives the translator time to access resources, like lexicons, glossaries, grammar books, and these days Google to access any subject. Therefore, it is obviously an easier and less taxing task than the job of an interpreter.
Spoken words produce sound and we know sounds are nothing but are air molecules squeezed closer together than usual. Thereby the spoken words decay the moment they are heard. But we the believers must not be misled by this scientific fact, we must be very cautious before throwing a statement in air because every spoken word is recorded.
Writing, on the other hand, produces visible marks that persist through time on the page or the screen. Thus visible words exist in space.
The physical and sensory modalities of speech and writing are distinct. They are distinctly different as the physical processes of speaking and writing. Similarly the physical and sensory modalities of interpretation and translation are different. For interpretation, sound - voice is the medium and the organ used is ears while in translation the medium is the vision through the organ of eyes.
In real world experience the end product of both is communication. Both aim at explanation or establishment of the meaning or significance of something stated orally or in writing. It is also the case when the speaker and listener and author and the reader have the same one language. The listener and reader interprets the spoken and written words of his own language and saves as perception what he thought or comprehended the speaker or writer intended to convey him.
Except being one directional, the translation is in fact interpretation. For translation the first requirement is the skill for reading. Reading involves translating text into sounds or spoken words. And comprehension involves deriving meanings from those sounds.
It is believed that reading with voice increases the speed and level of comprehension as compared to sub-vocally reading.
Qur?n is unique in all respects in the family of books. It is described as the Speech, the Parlance?verbal Message, the Discourse which is the intellectual property of Allah the Exalted; and as the Book of Allah the Exalted. It is the reason that it is alive in time and space and its persistence is guaranteed not by the first Publisher but by its Author.
Therefore, the translation of Qur?n is but one directional interpretation. Thereby, it is not necessary that the translator be a linguist. It is also so because translation and interpretation of a book is merely a skill.

but 1 " little " comment
from the site you linked
.... Arabic language of you Muhammad .

..... Verb - Subject - Direct Object. The Subject is Allah ......

other prophets calling by their name nothing between quotation , but with prophet Muhammed always used S.A.W.
i dont know why we have to give blessing to dead person ? he cant here or help us ??
Sahih International Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating. Quran 2780
And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves. Quran 3522

Salamun alaika;
The Subject is Allah the Exalted speaking in majestic tone and the object of verb is the Qur?n.
I always mention the Proper Noun with respect "The Exalted" is for .
other prophets calling by their name nothing between quotation , but with prophet Muhammed always used S.A.W.
Qur'aan says for the Messengers "Salam is upon them"; I do repeat this for them in translation to pay my tribute and salute to them.
We pay reverence to the dead persons by recalling them. A General in uniform salutes the grave of an unknown soldier to pay regards and to acknowledge the good work and sacrifice done.

You can't do anything for any prophet but you can do something for you. Do you stop feeling gratitude for a person because the person is dead? Don't you wish for those persons you love that they are in paradise and beyond suffering or evil?
Dead people are also our people. Love does nto die when a person dies, thanfulness does not end when they person we are grateful to has gone back to God. So what is wrong with wishing the dead all the good they can get? What is wrong with expressing that wish?
Prophets are our helpers, through their example throught he labour the did. They may not be doing anything now, but the effect of what people do carries on, especilaly when they are exemplary persons.
As to Muhammad, he is the seal of prophets which means when we thank God for him we are thnaking God for each and every prophet tht ever existed. Prophet are not divisible. They are one. They are not competing with each other, they are one another in the service of God for humankind.
Salaam

Keeping aside this issue of how a person is mentioned in brackets, what about the actual subject of the thread? Have you anything to contradict it?

Thanks.
Respect, honour, exaltation is something which is exclusive domain of Allah the Exalted to grant. Our duty is only to submit to the choice of Allah the Exalted. This is the dividing line between Satan and us.
What wrong was done by Satan that made him cursed and condemned for ever? Only that he refused to pay obeisance to Adam whom Allah had exalted.
Allah the Supreme Sovereign has exalted a galaxy of persons. I am sure the day you go through the Qur'aan, you might realize that we cannot give credit to an extent as is given by Him the Exalted.
