I do not think that the main issue being presented here is how bad a translation it is( even though it is suboptimal) . The main issue is the WTBS misrepresentation of the expertise of the translator. It demonstrates how dishonest they are.

Franz was in no way qualified to translate the bible.
Here is an example of the qualifications of a biblical translator are....
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor degree.
- Previous cross-cultural experience is beneficial.
TRAINING
- Successful completion of courses substantially similar to the following SIL standard courses:
- Biblical Background Studies
- Greek or Hebrew grammar and exegesis (12 semester hours minimum)
- Articulatory Phonetics
- Computer Data Management
- Cultural Anthropology
- Language and Culture Learning
- Language and Society
- Linguistic Field Methods
- Morphology and Syntax
- Phonology
- Semantics and Pragmatics
- Translation Principles, Theory and Practice
- Intercultural Communication Course for select overseas assignments.
- Language school or self-directed language study program as required by field of assignment.
- Cross-cultural living internship or its equivalent as required.
- Additional courses may be required before undertaking significant work in translation, project management, or training.

I am still of the opinion that he belongs in jail. He pleaded guilty ! Why are we even considering whether he is racist or not. He is a thug!

Still a self confessed criminal. So why release him? Nobody has explained this yet. Isn't this the whole issue here ?

Well it is fact that he has a long criminal history isn't it?
For example his conviction for fraud.
In November 2012, Robinson was charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by misrepresentation in relation to a mortgage application, along with five other defendants.[48] He pleaded guilty to two charges and in January 2014 was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment.
