That is a myth.

The accuracy of most translations over millenia is frankly unbelievable when compared against other sources and ancient manuscripts such as the Dead Sea scrolls, Josephus, etc. Even comparing LXX/Septuagint and Vulgate are more remarkable for the very few ways in which they diverge, but even those can be harmonized with careful study.
