Why did they trust Luther's translation was accurate?

The church could've easily convinced the masses the translation was a plot by the devil or something.

The church had too many german and latin speakers for that to have worked. Their contention with luther was interpretation not words, if they said the issue was the words, then there would have been a huge massive problem in the clergy who would have to accept this abomination to their faith
