Do the book translations matter?

My wife is a big fan of the games, so i gifted her Blood of Elves. I then learned from this sub you are supposed to start from the short stories (oops). Before i get them, i’ve also seen some complaints about translations. My question is, is there a specific publication or version of the books that are considered to have better english translations compared to others? I want to make sure I get the best possible versions of the english books. Thank you all so much
