There are an increasingly growing number of Qur'anic translations. Even with an acknowledged awareness that no one translation can capture the fullness of the Arabic, it would be interesting to understand a) in what ways is this current translation is to be considered a "perfected translation" and b) how this improves on existing translations?

Hello,
You have certainly broached up a very interesting question. Personally speaking, the present translations, while regarded as excellent transference of divine messages , frequently involve hermeneutic and interpretive additions that are subjective and tinted with sectarian bias. As such, improving the translation quality of Qur'anic translations, the translator should adhere to the principle of faithfulness and by adopting a strictly semantic approach, recreate the divine messages to an avid expectant world as faithfully as possible.
Best regards,
