@@anuragneelam8527 to be honest Allah huAkbar kinda means God Is Great (Akbar = great). It can be used to praise God but the term is usually said to reinforce that God is One hence the greatest. Alhamdulillah is usually said when you want to thank Allah if a thing goes your way or you are glad about a blessing, so you are praising Allah but the context is different from Allah huAkbar. Alhamdulillah is like saying "thanks to Allah (God)", so basically, "Thank God".

The Arabic translation is really accurate as others have said. Unlike Hollywood movies which have huge budgets and can't get Arabic right. I am not sure about other languages but they always butcher Arabic I was watching the movie "Contact" and they show the reaction of different countries to the aliens and they showed Arabic written backward which is completely unreadable. The irony was that the movie is about deciphering Alien language but they failed to decipher a human language.

Yes, they translated "Hurry, hurry!" into "Let's get over there." But even so, it's funnier in Arabic, even in the couple words I understood because I understand them from experience rather than from a dry translation.
