Slow.pics
Used audio from the old BFI disc, as it's the least manipulated version of the same transfer used on all releases. Video FPS changed to 24 to match. Conveniently, it was also the only lossless source for the commentary. BFI UHD track is included as an alternative filtered option, for those who want to avoid hiss/pops.
Audio comparisons: Samples, Spectrogram
Three distinct translations are included, two from Criterion and one from BFI. Criterion included two essays regarding each of translation by their respective authors, which are well worth a read. BFI did not provide any credits or translator's notes.
Full booklet (DVD edition, as I was not able to find a scan of any later release):

Retail Simplified Chinese subtitles sourced from a hardsubbed Bilibili WEB-DL, OCRed by Rogers7084, thanks!
Preferred Japanese SDH sub from the old Toho disc for its font (contents are identical).
