Bridges’ translation was done with the aim of helping the non-Arabic reader in pondering the Qur’an (tadabbor). The translators focused not only on translating what God meant to say, but also on translating how He spoke.
Main features that make bridges translation unique:

1- It is the first translation which includes the ten Qira’at (modes of recitation). The main text is written in accordance with the most commonly used Qira’a: that of Asem, narrated by Hafs. Variations from that are represented in footnotes. The translation presents around 30% of the variations of the Qira’at—those which affect the meaning and can therefore be demonstrated in translation. The rest are merely dialectical and cannot therefore be demonstrated in English.
Terms that have footnotes related to the Qira’at’ are written in the text in red, and the related footnotes can be enabled or disabled from the settings.

2- It is the first translation that takes into consideration the Qur’anic phenomenon of grammatical shifts, whether in verb tenses, numbers or pronouns. These are a great source of pondering for the reader. Speaking about the Hereafter in past tense is a frequent feature of the Qur’an and this has been respected in this translation.
Terms that have footnotes related to grammatical shifts or other explanations are written in the text in blue.

3- To denote whether a pronoun like “you” or an imperative verb like “say” is plural, dual or singular, the translators did not impose their understanding on the reader by adding text between brackets like (O Prophet) to denote singular form, or (O mankind) to denote plural form. Rather, this distinction was achieved by adding a superscript after nouns, pronouns and imperative verbs. For example: youpl is used for a plural pronoun, yousg for a singular pronoun and youdl for a dual pronoun. Likewise, imperative verbs such as “say” are expressed as saypl for a plural verb, saysg for a singular verb and saydl for a dual verb. It must be noted that in the Qur’an most imperative verbs in the singular form are meant to address Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
