I've seen alot of translators for different types of languages but I've yet to see someone make a translator for our modern english to the Shakespearean type of English. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Shakespeare's English is Early Modern English. The differences are mostly in vocabulary.

Middle English is that of Chaucer, Old English that of Beowulf. Old English definitely needs translation, and Middle English needs either translation or, at the very least, a fair amount of training to understand.
