About our translations
The Arabic on every hadith page is the Arabic text this site has always shown โ it has not changed. Our English and Bengali translations are made from that Arabic.
Every English and Bengali hadith translation you see here is produced by AI, not by a human translator, and is labelled as an AI translation. Quran translations on this site are not part of this.
What the labels mean
- A reader flagged this โ under review โ A reader has reported a problem with this translation, and it is under review.
- Checked by the editor โ The site editor has reviewed this translation against the Arabic.
- Confirmed by N readers โ Enough registered readers have voted that this translation matches the Arabic.
- May be incomplete โ compare with the Arabic โ This translation may be missing part of the meaning โ compare it with the Arabic, or with the other language if one is shown.
- AI translation ยท passed automatic checks against the Arabic โ An automatic check compared this AI translation with the Arabic and found no obvious problems.
- AI translation ยท not yet verified โ compare with the Arabic โ Automatic checks could not confirm that this AI translation matches the Arabic, and readers have not yet confirmed it. Compare it with the Arabic.
How reader votes work
Signed-in readers with a verified email can vote on a translation: for a single translation, whether it matches the Arabic; when more than one translation exists, which one matches the Arabic more completely. Enough votes raise a translation's label to Confirmed.
Reporting a translation problem
Anyone can report a problem with a translation, signed in or not, from wherever it appears. A report never removes or hides the text โ it flags the translation for the editor and stays open until the editor resolves it.
What the editor can do
The site editor can promote a translation, mark one as checked, withdraw a translation that turns out to be wrong (always with a reason), or resolve an open report. Every one of these actions is recorded, and withdrawing a translation takes effect immediately.
