The notes of the AV translators also show they were most aware that their work was properly subject to revision as better sources and wider scholarship followed.

Having God's word in one’s own language has provided motivation for learning to read as well as having affordable copies available. So the invention of printing and work of Bible translation into the common languages has worked hand in glove to bolster literacy.

Those translators comments are well worth the time to read. thanks!
