One translation mistake that made me go 'whoa!' is the phrase in the appendix A "Tale of Aragorn and Arwen' about Galadriel. They translated "Galadriel passed away' with 'Galadriel died'. That nearly gave me a heart attack. I was thinking to myself: "What did I miss?! I thought elves didn't die??" I honestly thought I must have misunderstood something about elves and/or Galadriel. When I got my english copy, this was the first thing I checked for. And then I breathed a sigh of relief...
