With the LXX in English, you really do not have much of a choice other
than Brenton's LXX (The Septuagint with Apocrypha: Greek and English; by
Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton; Hendrickson Publishers).  I believe there are
some scholars who are currently working on a more "modern" translation of
the LXX, but as to when it will be available, it might be a while.  There
is another one I believe by Young (??), but it is not quite as easily
accesible as Brenton's.  It is a translation, not a transliteration - so
as far a literal goes, Brenton is not literal, but it is about all that
is out there.  Hope that helps.

FYI - you can get it through CBD for a pretty good price too.
