Bart, most English translations are based on the MT. Some readings reflect the reading of the LXX and this is usually cited by the translators in the footnotes. The best way to know which text was used by a given translation is to consult the preface. Translations derived directly from the MT or LXX are also available in English. The LXX for instance is available in an inter-linear text by both Rahlf and Brenton. Best,
