I looked for it on Kindle and there are several recent editions. Who
is the translator of the better version, please?

There are several new translations.  Coward's and Butcher's are apparently
both good and people argue about which one is better.   But everyone
agrees that the old Mercier translation is awful.

Would the same be the case for Journey to the Centre of the Earth and
the Moon books?

In both cases the Mercier translations are terrible bu I cannot say
which of the more modern translations are any good.
