Shakespearean English IS Modern English. What we speak today is called “contemporary English”. I don’t know if translators exist, but the difference between the English of both periods isn’t significant, which makes Modern English ( = Shakesperean English) easy to understand. The main differences appear in some verb inflections and in the form of persona and possessive pronouns, as well as in possessive adjectives. That’s about it.
