hi! there's lots of room for input on this one, but meanwhile, you may be interested in examples from these somewhat-related questions

• In primary sources that predate the late modern period, how frequently do historians find errors in spelling, grammar, and the like? How easy or how difficult is it for historians to recognize such errors, especially in older variants of languages? And how do translators deal with these errors?

not typos, but mistranslations

• Has a poor translation ever caused a war or other serious crisis?

• I know that heads of state, as well as other important persons, often don't speak the same language. So, I assume a lot of power rests with interpreters. Are there any large-scale instances of interpreters influencing world events through their miscommunications?

• Famous mistranslations in history?

• Has a nation's translator ever skewed an important translation? Have any major events been avoided or created this way?

The most famous although disputed mistranslation I can think of is :

"Thou shall not suffer a witch to live" Exodus 22:18 from the king james bible.

The error (if it is one) happened in the translation from hebrew to greek: The precise meaning of the Hebrew word kashaph in ancient hebrew is unclear (could be sorcerer, astrologist or poisoner) it´s only clear that the person in question is male.

The greek translation uses the word pharmakeion (meaning preparer of drugs, poisons) thais was translated into witch sorcerer etc.

Since the phrase in question was used as justification for the execution of supposed (female) witches is (at least in part) due to this mistranslation.

earliest instance of critique of the translation that i found.

Scot, Reginald (c. 1580) The Discoverie of Witchcraft Booke VI Ch. 1.

The strong wording is unusual in that in the old testament there are several prophets (Daniel, Saul, David) that consort or use the services of a wise woman or man, therefore it is nowadays often taken to mean poisoner.
