My preferred English translation is KJV. There are some other good translations, and there are some very bad translations and paraphrases. There are good non-English translations, too. But we do need to be careful in which translation we use. Always check the source of the translation (it should be printed in the front of the book.)
Yes, I can't read non-English translations because I don't even understand it, I prefer English translations because it's easier for me to understand better.
