Being born into a certain religion and place now endows one with special abilities? Enough ignorance of the Greek, of the English and the Scriptures has made the silliness of that supposition abundantly obvious.

And it is so translated

And yet the Greeks and the Greek Orthodox who do their readings in the original Greek believe in Mary being full of grace. Could they perhaps know better Greek than the chaps you mentioned?

Topic: Translation from Greek (richer, complex language) to English.

It takes no special abilities for a Greek kid to know the Greek language, nor for a Japanese kid to know Japanese or one to know Tagalog.

Do not confuse knowing your mother tongue with having any special abilities.

Yet, if you know your mother tongue, say English you will know what the words mean, far, far better than someone who does NOT know English and reads a book translated from the original English.
