Well first off I'd recommend getting the legit game off DLsite, it's really cheap at about $3.50 USD and from my brief contact with him on Twitter he's a real bro, so it'd be nice if more people supported him by buying the game. Also, I think some things in the game were patched in later like the recollection room, so those might be missing from pirated copies.
Otherwise, while I can't 100% vouch for earlier pirated copies, I can't think of why they wouldn't work. If the game's reverting to the JP version for images and text, there's a pretty strong likelihood that you may not have done anything with the rgss3a file. If that's not renamed (e.g. by adding .backup) or deleted, the RPG Maker engine will default to using all the assets stored in that file and will ignore all other translated assets. I'll also quickly run through the patching process because it sounds like you may have not decrypted the files either.

Patching Process
- Decrypt all the game files using your decrypter of choice, I recommend Falo's decrypter. Make sure you put all the decrypted files into their corresponding game folders, don't just leave them in the "Export" folder or wherever the decrypter dumps them.
- Delete or rename the rgss3a file. My preferred method is to add a ".backup" file extension to it
- Copy the contents of the "Translation Release" folder from the rar into the main game folder
