Can namaz be offered in any other language?

[thou shall not judge]

As we all know Allah is all knowing, all seeing. So if someone does not know arabic and the quranic verses, can he/she offer namaz with the meaning of the surah's and the aayaats? Is there any strict rule regarding the same, till now i have not come accross a single verse of the quran that tells us not to offer namaz in a foreign tongue.

After all it is Allah who knows best. He is the one who knows the hearts of the people, their intent.etc.

Your thoughts?
