Judging by how significantly different The Bard's Tale is on the NES when comparing it to any other version, I'd think this would be true for the sequel as well, indeed
Is there any translation team that's taking requests?

Hmm...if Bard's Tale for NES is not like Bard's Tale for other systems, I just might give it a try...

To quote a Bard's Tale fanpage:
http://bardstale.brotherhood.de/talefiles/index.html
The NES version of The Bard's Tale was drasticly different from all other versions of the game.
They even list it besides the regular series in the frameset.
It has a different title screen, all different music, all different graphics, and numerous gameplay changes:
No Races to choose from.
No Paladin/Monk/Conjurer/Magician classes
Different spells
Different Bard Songs
Completely redesigned and slightly smaller dungeons
No icon bar for spell effects
All these changes don't ruin the game though. It still undoubtedly is The Bard's Tale. On the plus side, the game gives you an automap feature right from the start.
