What is Some Aspects of the Translation into Iranian Languages of the Works by Mani about?

In his well known proclaim, in which he says that his religion is in 10 points superior to the other religions, Mani clearly states, in the first point, that his religion will be manifest in all countries and in all languages.

But my religion is of the kind that it will be manifest in every country and in all languages, and it will be taught in far away countries." [Andreas / Henning 1933, p. 295] It is common opinion that Mani wrote his books in his native Babylonian Aramaic, except for the Šābuhragān, which was written in Persian for the Sasanian King Šābuhr. Even so, Aramaic was never considered as a sacred language, and during Mani's lifetime, and shortly after his death, his disciples, probably under his supervision, translated all of his writings into Persian and Parthian, the two most important tongues of the empire. These translations, along with other Manichaean books, were taken to Central Asia, and were subsequently translated into Sogdian, Old Turki
