The Joseph Smith Translation is a selection of Bible verses that were corrected or re-translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith through revelation. His goal was to print his own version of The Bible which corrected and clarified some mistranslations in the King James Version, however his work was never finished. Because he never completed his work, the Mormon church today uses the King James Version with footnotes that include Joseph Smith's translations.

Joseph Smith began the translation of the Bible in 1830 and continued working on it until his death in 1844.

Why did Joseph Smith need help with the translation of the gold plates?
Joseph Smith translated the gold plates by the gift of God. He needed God to help him translate because he was translating from a lost language that no longer exists and because what he was translating is scripture - the word of God. Joseph Smith also had a scribe to assist him. The scribe did not help with the actual translation, he just wrote as Joseph Smith translated out loud, in order to save time. The scribes also served as valuable witnesses to the authenticity of the Book of Mormon and the existence of the gold plates.
