Nothing at all. But I refuse to participate in the usual screeching when someone does make a modern translation and everyone conflates that with bowdlerization.

old and modern translations are both valid things for people to want (unlike bowdlerized texts which are ugly) and I don't see why there isn't room for both to exist.

Unfortunately not everyone agrees with me. Naming no names, as if anyone here were in that camp I would've forgotten them anyway.
