List of translations of the Quran from Wiki

600 – 1000 * Salman the Persian translated Fatiha from Arabic to Persian.

* The first complete translation of the Quran was completed in 884 CE in Alwar (present-day Sindh, Pakistan) by the orders of Abdullah bin Umar bin Abdul Aziz on the request of the Hindu Raja Mehruk.

The Quran being the word of Allah and revealed in Arabic is least translatable. Any translation of the Quran can only be considered an approximation of the meaning of the Quran.

Translation of certain parts of the Quran started in the life of the Prophet (SAW). It has been reported that when Jaafar ibn Abu Talib (cousin of the Prophet) recited the first forty verses of chapter Mary (Maryam) in the court of emperor Najashi (of Abysinnia), these verses were translated there and then into Amharic (local language). Another companion of the blessed Prophet, Salman- the Persian is said to have translated the opening chapter Al-Fatiha into Persian language. Although Musa ibn Sayyar Al-Aswari is credited with the oral translation of the entire Quran into Persian, the first complete translation of the Quran was completed in 884 CE in Alwar (Sindh-India now Pakistan) by the orders of Abdullah bin Umar bin Abdul Aziz on the request of the Hindu Raja Mehruk. It is not fully known whether this translation was in Hindi, Sanskrit or local Sindhi language
That is interesting to note. Apparently that translation is done in 884, I wonder any of you Indians know anything about this King Hindu Raja Mehruk..

The links in the first post links to an Ahmadiyya site. That sect is universally rejected by all other Muslims. The Pakistani penal code even prevents them from calling their house of worship as Masjid. Those translations wouldn't be credible.
