If You look at http://scriptures.LDS.org/hu/od/2 (which is the hungarian version of the "OFFICIAL DECLARATION—2" You can read:

I'm not sure what you're getting at, Ludwig.

Are you saying that they dropped a paragraph in that wasn't Hungarian? Oops!

You're claiming that the Scriptures in other languages aren't perfect? I think we know that. My Portuguese companion found several in his.

If the Prophet was translating by the gift and power of God we might have a problem but it's done by large teams doing the best they can.

I think the underlying point is that the claim of power and authority above all other authority is manifest in the possession of certain gifts. However, the Church seems ironically incapable of exercising those gifts. They thus fail the test of their own making.

Or something like that.

On second thought, they never claimed the gift of "cut and paste" so maybe they are still okay. Crisis of faith avoided!

This is why when Paul enumerated the Spiritual Gifts he made it pretty clear that no one would get them unless they also had faith. The two that are most publicly observable (tongues and prophecy) come across as babbling and madness respectively. I guess the Prophets aren't kidding when they say that not only do miracles not convert but it's very rare that anyone outside will ever even recognize one when it comes.
