I learned from you that we can make dua just before taslim in the end of salat in our own language, if we dont know arabic. My grandmother told me that during Fard salat we are not allowed to add any other duas or words except what prescribed in salat. Like after ”Subhana robbiul ‘ala” we not allowed to add anything. She read from some local islamic book.
