Translation of Griffith is only available at sacred texts.com. Arya Samaj translations are also bogus for many mantras. So where can I get true translation of Vedas along with word by word?

3All translations of the vedas are inadequate at best. Many portions of the veda are sound-based and not language-based. You will never get a proper translation. You can read commentaries on the veda though. I recommend reading of commentaries by ancient Hindu acharyas only. – Jul 08 '17 at 08:28

You can read Vedas in Sanskrit + Hindi at awgp (Find links at right panel) but they're not word by word translations. – Pandya Jul 09 '17 at 13:58

Vedas are open to multiple interpretations and ancient vedic language is very difficult to grasp. There are quite a few available publications of vedas (samhitas). It is better to opt for Indian authors who can have better understanding and interpretation.
For Hindi language, you can also read Vedas online here.

@TheDestroyer I accept, but mantra in Rig Veda 8.14.13 also repeated in yajur Veda 19.71. But Arya Samaj translated the same mantra differently – Jul 08 '17 at 13:08
