Translating religion and politics

[Richard Durkan]

Does anyone know of any studies of or specialists in the history of Bible translation into the indigenous languages of the Americas and the influence such work had on developing written languages and standardized language, as in other parts of the world?
 
I would also be interested in the experience of translators of other 'sacred texts', whether religious or political (eg the Quran or the Marxist canon - Marx, Lenin, Mao etc), into vernacular languages and what linguistic and cultural problems they encountered by way of comparison and contrast with the Christian experience.
