    define "right"

    I think it was translated to the best of their ability at the time, but it was itself a translation of a translation. Originally it went from aramaic / greek (depending on the book) to Latin, then the KJV was the english translation of the Latin.

    To many oportunities for error.

    • That is not correct. It was translated directly from the Biblical languages, but of course they used ancient translations into other languages such as Aramaic, koine Greek and Latin to know what some of the obscure terms meant.

    • That, and the last six verses of Revelation were taken from the Latin Vulgate.
