Kaufman translations are going to be the best you're going to get. He offers some helpful context in the footnotes through the books.

Kaufmann's are the best, but also still not good. Along with the translation he wrote detailed notes and commentary, and it is clear from that that he was often just completely missing Nietzsche's actual point.

The main thing Kaufmann had going for him was that he wasn't doing a motivated mis-translation of Nietzsche to support an agenda of white supremacy... which you'd think is a low bar, but it makes for the gold standard in Nietzsche translation apparently.
