...you haven't actually seen the old MTL version, then...Likely one of the best game ever. Idk about re translation, but the older translation ( not sure if thats the newest one) was perfect anyway.
I still have it somewhere. It's one of the absolute worst MTLs I have ever seen. Not only was the translation barely legible; the text frequently ran off-screen, and the translation even had bugs that caused the game to crash.
Like at the intro scene for the boss of the Rot Pit, for example. The game would crash because the translation had fucked up the filenames.
It was just the sloppiest hack job you can imagine. There were actually several fan patches just to make it playable.
