Yeah, if it had said, "not all that glitters is gold," then that would have been the same thing, but it looks like the translator wasn't paying very close attention at that point.

I've only read my Spanish FotR once, and don't remember any mistakes, though there were naturally a lot of differences due to expressions and puns etc. I ought to go through it again. Improve my Spanish some more.
