Answer

The Ramayana was originally written in Sanskrit. However, in 1789, the English scholar William Carey translated the Ramayana into English. This translation was significant because it made the Ramayana accessible to a wider audience outside of India. Carey's translation was also praised for its accuracy and fidelity to the original text.
