One text has been translated, in whole or part, into more than 3,000 languages, with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights trailing as a close runner-up.
The Bible's status as most translated comes from its central role in Christianity, one of the world's largest religions, and centuries of deliberate missionary translation efforts aimed at reaching as many languages as possible, including many small or endangered ones with otherwise little translated literature. No other book has had this same scale of sustained, coordinated effort.
Don Quixote and Harry Potter are landmark works translated into dozens of major languages, but neither comes close to the thousands the Bible has reached, since neither had comparable organized translation efforts behind it.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights trailing closely behind is notable in its own right, showing a short modern legal document motivated by universal appeal can rival millennia-old religious texts in linguistic reach.
