I heard one was released recently, which was translated by Mongolians only. So it might be different than other versions since others were translated by both with foreigners... i hope it will release in US soon

Mongolian scholar Urgunge Onon did a great translation, complete with plenty of extensive notes and translations of place and personal names. It's way superior to the standard Cleeves version. Check out some pages of it at Amazon.
