The Qur'an answers this question itself, in Chapter 43, Verse 3: "Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand."

The message of God revealed through Muhammad (S) was initially told to the Arabs, in Saudi Arabia. No one would understand the Qur'an and what God was trying to say if it was revealed in another language, as the Arabs of Mecca and Madinah spoke the Arabic language. Today, the Arabic language is spoken by over 200 million people and there are numerous translations of the original text in all languages, so that all of mankind can understand.

However, the Holy Quran has been translated into too many languages worldwide if not into all of them.

Because, the Arabic is the official language of the Quran. It was the language in which the Quran was written by and sent down on the Prophet p.b.u.h.

How do they compile the quran?

It was a difficult task to compile the Quran as testified by one of the companions of Muhammad. According to this companion, it is easier to move a mountain than to compile the Quran which was written in different materials like animal skin, palm leaves etc. During the time of the 3rd Caliph Uthman there were different readings of Quran in different cities. These copies of Quran did not agree on each other. Uthman wanted to make a single standardized Quran. By his orders, the men collected all the copies on the Quran in existance and created a new Quran. After creating the new Quran, Uthman ordered to burn all the original copies of the Quran in order that there is no differing copies are around. The copies of the new Quran was sent into different cities for their use. Many did not agree with the new Quran and had to accept the Uthman version. This version is the Quran that is in use now.
