Many languages do not translate directly into other languages. The languages originally used to write The Bible are very context-dependent, so the same word could mean many things depending on where it is used or even how it was said. As well as this, a person doing the translation will inject their own meaning into it, interpreting a word the way they believe it should be done and this can change the entire meaning of the phrase or sentence. Some others simply don't bother translating properly and use simplifications of the words used where a proper translation would require a longer sentence.

What are the advantages of translating the Bible?
In Western Europe during the Middle Ages, the Bible was only permitted to be read in Latin. The English king, Henry VIII even had William Tyndale executed for daring to translate the Bible into English. An advantage of translating the Bible into English and other vernacular languages is that it becomes more meaningful, as readers can read and understand the Bible. They can follow services if the Bible is read in English.
