There's not a lot of "fiddling" to "distort" in the modern mainline Protestant translations of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. The grouping is different, and some books that the Protestants divide into two are kept as single volumes in the Hebrew Bible. But as for the text itself, modern Protestant translations like the New International Version and the New American Standard try to stay true to the best available sources. Accuracy is very important to people who consider the Bible as it was written in its original languages to be inerrant. Translations are imperfect, though, and that is acknowledged in modern Bible scholarship.
The interpretation is different, obviously, for some passages, and in some verty significant ways to say the least.. But I don't think you'll get much substantial disagreement in interpretation of the Ten Commandments among those religions that hold them to be sacred.
