Best Answer

The King James Bible was not really an entirely new Bible, but was largely based on existing translations. King James instructed that as far as possible, the translaters were to follow the "Bishop's Bible". Of course, they checked with the Greek and Latin and retranslated as necessary.

Because of its reliance on older Bibles, the English of the KJV was already somewhat old fashioned. By 1769, it was found necessary to update the work, including a revision of the spellings used.

What do you call the system of translation used at conferences whereby participants use headsets to listen to translations of a speaker's address with no interpreter standing physically before them?

I'm not sure what it is called formally, but there are human translators in a backroom for every combination of languages required. The speakers talk into microphones and the translators listen on headphones, then speak the translation into microphones and the listeners hear the translations on headphones. Someone handles manually switching between translators as different speakers talk so that everyone hears everything translated into their language without gaps.
