could you, maybe, stare her down a bit next time she does something like translate incorrectly? wait a beat after she's done talking, especially when you know she has translated incorrectly, then speak to the person she was attempting to translate for?
this will embarrass her, which may or may not be desirable, and would work, but would damage your working relationship with her, but I think you need to establish your dominance (i.e. supervisor role) with her...
maybe turn it into a lesson so that she can save face?
how about talking to her directly (and privately) about how you know she incorrectly translated for you, and that the next time she does it you will have to correct her in front of the person so that you are not embarrassed by her behavior?
