There's a book by Heidegger titled "Holzwege" (http://www.amazon.de/Holzwege-Martin-Heidegge...), translated in English as "Off the Beaten Track" (http://www.amazon.com/Heidegger-Off-Beaten-Tr...)

I'm uneasy about the English title. In LEO, the entries for Holzweg suggest that "auf dem Holzweg sein" means "to be on the wrong track". But in English "to be off the beaten track" simply means to be on an unusual or different track, not to be on the wrong track.

What does Holzweg imply in German: on a different track, or on the wrong track? Did the translator "improve" (change) the meaning in translation? Or can it also mean to be on a different track.

Thanks.
