Sorry, I just studied Japanese, although I do work as a translator for it (into my language, not English). I'm also not familiar with the different English subs, and I only read the manga in Japanese so I don't know the scanlations very well either. I'm sorry, that's extremely unhelpful, I know! I linked some chapters on manganato in another comment, and they seemed perfectly fine to me. I don't know very much about the official English translation, though.
The most significant thing I've seen that all English translations have wrong (fansubs and scanlations too, from what I've seen) is that they call Aqua Ragna the Aqua Laguna. Maybe because they didn't realise it comes from Ragnarok (end of the world in Norse Myth)? But you also can't even write "Laguna" in Japanese the way it's written in the manga, so I don't know why that happened.
Mostly what I see from what's used by Boldcast here is that the subs seem a little... sloppy? They do get a lot of what Zoro says slightly wrong because he tends to use expressions that allude to samurai tradition, and that is more work to translate.
For example, when he meets Luffy and tells him that if Luffy stands in the way of his ambition, he must cut open his belly to make amends. I think the subs said something along the lines of "if you stand in my way you must apologise to me", which is... *technically* in the same general direction, lol. But it fails completley to capture the tone and seriousness of the moment.
There's also the bit where he fights captain Kuro's pirates with only one sword. The subs said "he's not that great with one sword", but what he's really saying is that fighting with one sword just isn't his *speciality*. And that's just a normal expression, that's really just the translation being sloppy.

If your japanese, can you please tell me rather or not Crunchy subs are accurate to the original source or if funimation is more accurate. I seem to identify alot of mistakes in the translation and gramatical errors with CR subs. How ever when I read the unofficial scanlations for the manga, they just seem more authenticate to me. Like the previous lines in the most recent arc with the battle against (Kdo), it was just so terrible and very simple like it was a google translation. Ymto's speech for example was one of the highlights of that chapter and so was Kdo's dialogue, but the shoddy translation really brought it down.
My dream is to best the current strongest janitor in single combat and become the greatest janitor in the world.

Gold Roger's scene does work better here. Not only because no one strong like Garp was around but because the marines who were, were really trying to stop him and skewered him as soon as he started talking. In the LA, Garp was like "hey, don't tell em. Rog, don't. OK, you're telling them. Can you please not? I might give the order to kill you, you know!" xD
