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.
