I agree from a anthropologic perspective, but its fun how bad translations often are the means for the evolution of a mythology, as well as the genesis of mythologies, and new mythos thrives on these. Often the worse the better, as it more quickly diverges from the original, and the complete lunacy the incomplete, shitty translator/fan fic writer creates requires explanations. For this reason I dont think bad translations should be removed, or perhaps even noted as such, as it inhibits this process. At the end of the day its someone's work of fan fiction on an out of copyright work, and while I might prefer the canon malfoy-potter, I'm not going to challenge the right of adherents of sensible alternatives like granger-devere, or even senseless and repugnant alternatives, to enjoy such work, they might be wrong, but its not like anyone should take this stuff seriously enough to be unkind. Not that copyright should limit peoples ability to create fan fiction anyways, but for in copyright works its seems reasonable to expect a non-canon header somewhere, though Id probably limit it to say a few decades. Aside from Disney, few question that the original work which inspired the stuff on sacred texts should be out of copyright.
