Ijaab and qubool in a diffrent language

Q: During nikaah, if the ijaab and qubool are said in a language that the groom understands, but the bride and her wali/representative do not, is the nikah valid so long as the proper words of ijaab and qubool are said?

A: If they understand what the words imply, the nikaah is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
