Commenting on his method of translation, Luther wrote: “We should question the mother in her home, the children on the street and the common man at the market, and then watch their mouths to see how they talk and then translate accordingly. ”
Kommenteerides oma tõlkemeetodeid, kirjutas Luther, et „tuleb küsida emalt kodus, lastelt tänaval, lihtrahvalt turuplatsil, ja just neile tuleb suhu vaadata, kuidas nemad räägivad, ja selle järgi tõlkida ”.
