The American Revised Version is more a creation of the publishing world than an actual translation. When the English Revised Version was being prepared, the translation committee invited American scholars to participate. The Americans had certain preferences that were not included in the text but were noted in an appendix. The American Committee agreed to wait twenty years before releasing their own translation (which they did in 1901 - called the American Standard Version). However, some publishers began incorporating the American preferences into the text (without the authorization of the American Committee) and calling it the American Revised Version.
