Yes. Modern English as a language has been spoken since about 1500. It was the only language Shakespeare and his audiences spoke and is of course the same language we speak today.

Where can you find translations of Shakespeare's Language to English?

You cannot; it is like asking for an English translation of Twilight or Lord of the Rings. Shakespeare's language is English to start off with; he is the greatest writer in the English language. People have trouble understanding Shakespeare, not because he wrote in a different language, but because he wrote in a dense, poetic and figurative style. For those who do not speak English well enough to understand Shakespeare, go to sparknotes and click on Shakespeare Have No Fear, or something like that. There are dumbed-down versions of all his plays.
