I think that the word - selah - which appears 75 times, mainly as a 'sentence' on its own in many of the Psalms is untranslated. It is 'thought to be' a musical direction.

Why was the Greek word pascha translated Easter in the King James Bible?
Unfortunately, when the King James Bible was translated from Greek to English, or when it was updated later, some mistranslations occurred. Reasons for this are not known, but they may have occurred because the translators used words that were based on their own understanding, rather than what the words actually mean. The word "pascha" means "Passover" and should have been translated as Passover, not Easter.

Does the Church of England endorse a particular Bible translation?
I don't know about now, but in 1611 the King of England, King James authorized a translation of the Bible to English to be read in Anglican churches. They may have changed their mind since then, but probably not. That's why I wonder why so many protestants think the King James Bible is the only version we should read. It was translated by a Non-Protestant denomination, and translated for a King, so the people translating it might have been concerned about offending the King, although there are not many places it seems like that. Before that was the Geneva version, and it's almost as good, the Old Testament is better in the King James version though. Nothing is comparable to the Psalms in the King James Version.

A more literal and modern, up-to-date version.The King James Bible was authorised and translated in 1611. Today, its words are considered archaic, old fashioned language and out of date in the 21st century.So different Bible societies and Bible scholars from various countries decided to review and translate the KJB (or KJV) into a more contemporary style of language suited to the culture of its country. The King James Version despite its archaic language is still very popular but it too has been revised and translated into modern day language.
