One of the problems of changing the translation has to do with Nazi "histo-archaeology" that had all the places mentioned in the Koran or the Hadiths located very near Mecca. Intriguingly the Nazis latched on to some interesting aspects of the Arabian peninsula that had been overlooked, but there has been little cooboration of their theories. In the meantime folks have continued with the belief that Mohammad did a special night journey to Jerusalem and from there to Heaven on a horse that left its hoofprint behind on a stone over which Dome of the Rock is constructed.
I suspect Moslems picked up on that particular rock when they discovered the hoof print.
