Answer
German. Martin Luther's translation of the Bible, completed in 1534, played a pivotal role in shaping the modern German language and culture. Prior to Luther's translation, religious texts were primarily available in Latin, which was not widely understood by the common people. Luther's decision to translate the Bible into German made it accessible to a broader audience and contributed to the rise of Protestantism in Germany.
