Do Muslims have to pray in Arabic? Why dont they pray in another language?

I kept noticing even if their native language is not Arabic, they still pray in Arabic.

Because of the traditions. Just like why Catholics pray in Latin or Jews pray in Hebrew.  Religions are always very traditional and are not very open to understanding, adopting changes.

I'm an african......English being my second language I noticed the differences, theres a word in my native language which indicate you're talking about a person. That word can be used to indicate a human whether male or female, but when it is translated in english its he or she but it don't mean that...... Another piont is that jesus spoke aramiac, but the bible eas written in greek, in that you know some thing got lost in the translation.........a word in aramaic meaning master or indicating some one is supeior to you could be translated in greek using a superior word which mean god to the greek people, now you have a problem in translation and with out the origin like the original quran in arabic you have trials and aflictions and changes inthe holy text its self not just in the person..........so its better to have learn arabic then to change the quran......As salaamu alaikum...

Still scholars argue about some words in arabic. Altough these people are excellent linguists they still argue on what were mentioned by some words.
