In addition, there are nearly two dozen illustrations created especially for this edition by Ron Miller, cutaway views and schematics of the Nautilus, maps, details of Verne's diving suits and many other special features."
It doesn't specifically state that he is the translator. He appears to be the main editor for a series of classic titles called "The Ron Miller Science Fiction Classics Collection." It looks like he took the original English translation and restored those missing pages, in addition to correcting a large number of errors.

Even if Ron Miller wasn't the original translator, he has to do some translating in order to fix all those errors and add in the missing text.
