In a way you are right, because I didn't comment Einstein's text, but 
the most common English translation of 'Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper'.

Sure, this is NOT what Einstein himself had written, but a translation.

But the translations are generally quite good and contain only very few 
errors.

The main difference was not the translation of the text, but the change 
of the content by the publisher.

E.g. the variables were renamed, to free the letter 'c' for 'speed of 
light in vacuum'.

Also 'Kugel' was tranlated with 'sphere', while it should be 'ball'.

But in almost all cases the translation was quite good.


One (funny) translation error was

'mitteilen' was translated with 'communicated'.

The error: 'mitteleilen' means usually communication, but was here used 
with the side-meaning 'to influence'.


Also 'wave-train' for 'Wellenzug' was questionable, because 'Zug' means 
'train' in German, but only 'train' in conncection to railways.

Other meanings of the German 'Zug' are e.g.

to move a chess piece
movement of air in a room
drag
to draw a line while drawing

Now only 'to draw a line' would make some sense here.

German allows to create new words by 'glueing' old ones together.

So 'Wellenzug' is composed of 'Wellen' and 'Zug', hence a wavy line and 
has nopt connection to trains.
