BB2,
If I'm not mistaken, only the Chabad version is online, the Koren and Stone are not (although there may be a couple other Jewish-English translations that are).
What are the differences? Good question!
It's usually trying to make the right translation fit the verse, which isn't always easy when translating from Hebrew to English (or other languages to English either). Something gets lost with meaning or substance. Being an English word may relate to several Hebrew words, the true meaning and feeling of the word doesn't always come through.
