Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

May Allah grant you knowledge of Arabic and give you the ability to read the Qur'an in the language that it was revealed in. 

The Qur'an was revealed as an Arabic Qur'an, and it is not the Qur'an if it is not in Arabic, instead it is an explanation of the translation of the meaning.  Allah says in the Glorious Qura'n:

A explanation of the translation of the meaning of this aayah is:

"Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'aan that you might understand." Yusef 2 (12:2)

Explanations of meaning, or tafseer, as it is called in Arabic, is made by humans and open to error. 

Certainly, you get reward for trying to understand the meaning of the Qur'an in your language, but you should strive to learn how to read Arabic and learn the Arabic language so you can obtain a greater reward and read the Qur'an as it was revealed.
