Summary/Abstract: In our age of globalization and localization translation seems to have reached its heyday. Translation memories, glossaries, various language databases are circulating widely, and canonically traditional texts are also revived, such as religious texts. In the article below we follow the history of two most important religious texts: the Bible and the Qur’an tracking them from the first translating until the beginning of the 21st century, foreshadowing the future of their translations as well.
