Check out the spellings in the original folios though: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeare-in-print/first-fo...

Our school books have all had some (very helpful) translation work applied to the original text.

Spelling fixes feels like an "allowed" cheat though IMHO. You are still with the original. Spelling wasn't very standardised and you want to get the word across. Changing word order and idioms though, then we are veering into "translation" territory.
