Huh? Why don't you enroll in an academic program to learn Sanskrit. That seems to be the place to start.
If you haven't read those texts in the original Sanskrit because you don't know Sanskrit, then how can you be so sure the English translations are terrible?
It sounds like you have some preconceived notions about what you want those texts to be, as opposed to being generally interested in them.
I've read some English translations of Sanskrit texts, and I've never come across them replacing individual gods with just the name "God." I'm not sure where you are experiencing this. Are you actually reading scholarly translations?
Being a priest for someone like you would be enough to put everyone off the profession.
