Answer
Wa Alaykumu Salam The only parts of prayer that should be recited in Arabic are the Qur'anic verses. All other parts, including the Tashahud, can be recited in one's desired language. You are also permitted to replace the glorification as you wish, though I would not recommend it as it would seem the Prophet (pbuh) gave us the best expression for those moments. An alternative would be to add to them what comes from your heart but that is up to you. I hope this helps. God knows best. Answer published by Ronnie Hassan
