Martin Luther did NOT have the idea of putting the Bible in German, it had been done dozens if not hundreds of times before Martin Luther, we have existing copies of German Bibles back to the fourth century, Martin Luther did not make his translation until the 16th century, twelve centuries later. The "major act", if you will, was that Martin Luther was the first to change the Bible to suit his own purposes, he removed books with which he didn't agree and inserted words to agree with his preconceived notions. How it relates to the Renaissance could be argued many ways, the Renaissance, in essence, was a nostalgia for a pre-Christian era of antiquity that put humanism above God, which is more than a little cheeky towards your Creator.
During the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther translated the Bible into German for the first time, so that it would be available to the common man instead of only to royalty and priests. William Tynedale accomplished a similar undertaking by translating the Bible into English.

Yes, Martin Luther played a significant role in popularizing his faith by translating the Bible into German. This made the scripture more accessible to the general population, allowing people to read and interpret it for themselves, which in turn contributed to the spread of Protestantism.
Martin Luther represented humanism by emphasizing the importance of individual interpretation of the Bible and the direct relationship between individuals and God, rather than relying on the authority of the church. He believed in the potential for human beings to improve themselves through education and critical thinking, which align with humanist values of intellectual freedom and personal growth.

The translation of the Bible into German was important because, prior to this, it was only really available in Latin. Since the majority of people could not understand Latin, this meant that the Bible (and also church services and rites, which were also in Latin) were incomprehensible to them. By translating the Bible into the language of the people, Martin Luther made it accessible to them and allowed them to read and interpret it on their own, rather than through the intermediary of the Catholic church.
Martin Luther translated the Bible into German in 1519-1522.
