Abstract
The first part of this article had already been published. It proposed a specific method for translating words and a general approach to translating text. This part of the article is based on six new translations of the Qur'an into German and examines the translations of the verses of Surah Hamad and the first 45 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah based on his proposed method. In total, 37 examples show that with the proposed basis, a translation closer to the text with more accurate equivalents can really be provided.
