Truly the Holy Torah, Written and Oral, is a single Torah which was given to Israel and not to anyone else.

I thought the Oral Law tells us that the Torah was given simultaneously in the 70 known languages of the World.

Hebrew is still the Divine Language from which all others are descended (after the Haflagah at the Tower of Babel). The kosher Seifer Torah is the Word of G-d in its purest and most perfect form (and the rules for writing it exist only in the Oral Torah, interestingly).

BTW, the translation of the Torah into Greek (the Septuagint) is one of the tragedies mourned on the feast day of `Asarah BeTevet. It was the translation of the Torah and its separation from the Oral Torah that made all the non-Jewish misinterpretations of history possible.
