Yes Jazz, that's the part that I find interesting. Changing languages is a very different thing and it's getting easier and easier to do from video games to movies it makes sense to address your audience. In some contracts I deal with it has to get author approval to make changes to languages and sometimes formats. I assume editorial changes are also on the list of author approval needed. Here the work is now in the public domain. While I don't see this as 100% censorship because original versions are still allowed to be published by other companies with all slurs intact.
The zombies thing is a rework of the original making a whole new work. I don't think that changing the two words constitutes a new work.
