I don't know the entirety of the language history and what the comment refers to about the languages the different versions of the Bible were translated from. But Christianity developed in the Early Roman Empire and later developed into Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox when the Empire split between the East and the West. The original Christian texts were all in Latin - which were created through translations of Hebrew texts. The Catholic Church continued to hold services in Latin through the 1960s until the Vatican allowed for mass to be said in the language of the region in order to "modernize".
Primarily in the ''West". The Roman Empire split and Constantinople (now Istanbul) became the capital of the East (Byzantine Empire) and Rome was the capital of the West (Holy Roman Empire). Catholicism spread into modern-day Europe. But during the Reformation the English split off from the Vatican whereas France remained Catholic. That's when various other sects of Catholicism began to develop -transubstantiation is the main difference between Catholicism and other sects of Christianity.
There are a lot of good books out there on the history of Christianity. It's a very rich and interesting story. Christians were an underground (literally) cult initially and were killed by Romans for their beliefs.
The Church split partly based on who spoke Latin (the Latins, a derogatory term in the Church of the East) vs who spoke Greek. The latins are the same thing as RC, Roman Catholicism. They were 1 church out of 5, who had a pact to not develop doctrine unless all were in agreement.
Rome stopped agreeing with any of the other 4 churches long before the great schism of 1054. They continued to develop doctrine anyway. Rome's Latin Bible went through a long string of translations before making it into English. I have a hard copy that shows this lineage; it's messy. But there is no direct translation from Hebrew.
Greek speakers liked the Bible that was translated from Hebrew for the OT, and originally written in Greek for the NT; the Septuagint. Since this was all Greek, they wouldn't write anything as LORD. Yet as this was translated into English some translators did a direct translation using the LORD convention to denote anytime "the name" was used. This is not at all limited to Pr (Protestants) but included some others including EO (Easter Orthodox) aka "the church of the east or the other 4 original churches that weren't Rome. (Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexander and ... what's that other one I always forget? It's not Constantinople is it?)
Jews held "the name" to be so holy that one should not utter it. There's disagreement if it was forgotten how to even say it or if it was kept alive via the High Priest who got to go into the Holy of Holies once a year. But this distinction
is what the LORD printing convention is about
It's a great thing to meditate on as you drift off, "holy, holy, holy ..."
No, not at all. The Catholic Bible is translated from a completely different language.

Lol once upon a time, in a land far away ...

You couldn't follow the conversation and completely missed the point, that is true
