This has been debunked over and over and yet here it was still quoted by critics without understanding the actual scene. Joseph Smith did Translate some according to the knowledge available in his time, but it was not translated throught any medium, tools or revelation like the Book of Mormon does. Which basically mean the critics were just fooled by their own bait. Nice try!
TRANSLATIONS BY JOSEPH SMITH, JR.“ I insert facsimiles of the six brass plates found near Kinderhook... I have translated a portion of them, and find they contain the history of the person with whom they were found. He was a descendant of Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and that he received his Kingdom from the ruler of heaven and earth.” – Joseph Smith, Jr.The plates turned out to be a hoax. Metallurgical tests revealed the plates to be of late 19th century construction. In addition, the script was created using a 19th- century chemical etch process. In August, 1981 LDS Ensign Magazine conceded: “Kinderhook plates bought to Joseph Smith appear to be a 19th-century hoax."
