I am from Romania and there is no translation of the septuagint bible into romanian made after 1914.
The septuagint bible is imo better than the masoretic one as it contains more than whatever the bare essentials were considered by the curators of the masoretic one.

There have been BIG changes in romanian dictionaries and lexicons so much so that I can only really understand 4/5 words/expressions.

I have made a promise to myself when I was a kid, to never read a book until I have read the bible from cover to cover.

I intend to fulfill that promise to myself even if regretably I can't find any half decent translations of it into romanian (so that I can promote it to people to read it themselves and to know what they are actually standing for as christians). 
So what are some decent translations of the septuagint bible in english?

New English Translation of the Septuagint

It's in modern English and it's free but it has a quirk where they kept the ancient Greek spellings of names.

Revision of the KJV done by an Orthodox translator.

Orthodox Study Bible

It's in modern English based on the NKJV but it has an issue where it deviates from the Greek manuscripts and uses the Hebrew reading in places without any indication:

Lexham English Septuagint

You have to buy this one but it's in modern English as well, and it doesn't have the issues of the OSB. It also includes some extra books that not in the canon.

Brenton Septuagint

This is a translation of the Septuagint in KJV-era English, it was the main version available for a century or so.

Charles Thomson Septuagint
https://studybible.info/Thomson
This was the first translation of the Septuagint into English, it also uses KJV-era English.

That's pretty much all of the complete Septuagint translations (there are some partial translations of the Psalms)
