Even today, translations into languages other than English, are made from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. The KJV isn't lingually available to non-English readers.
Not true. The King James is available in other languages:

You said:
The miracle ... is the preservation of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, ... from which all subsequent translations, including the KJV, are drawn. These manuscripts span the lifetime of the Church, ... and are the source for every Bible ever distributed ...
And you believe God has changed in that He kept His Word in a more ancient language when that is not what we read in God’s Word. We know that God moved with the times. God did not keep His Word in the Hebrew but He made the New Testament available in the Greek (Which was the world language at that time). So if God is to be the same and or consistent, He would also make available His Word in the English language perfectly or at the very least it would be His Word available in the most purest form we could possibly ever have for the world language of today (Which is English).
For there are many problems with denying the doctrine of Divine Preservation of God’s Word.
Problem #1. It denies Psalms 12:6-7 (Which is altered in Modern Bibles), and we can see a pattern of God preserving copies of His Word, and not the original autographs (of which you don’t believe we have today).
(a) Moses destroyed the original 10 Commandments on tablets of stone (the original autograph) (
Exodus 32:19), and yet a copy was perfectly made to replace it (
Exodus 34:1-4).
In the New Testament, Philip heard the Ethiopian eunuch read from a manuscript of Isaiah.
“And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?” (
Acts of the Apostles 8:30).
Although Scripture does not specifically say this was a copy of Isaiah, and not the original autograph of Isaiah, logic dictates that the most plausible explanation is that the Ethiopian eunuch had a copy of a manuscript of Isaiah (and not the original). For the odds of him just happening to have the original would seem highly unlikely.
Philip calls this copy of Isaiah he possessed as Scripture.
“Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” (
Acts of the Apostles 8:35).
2 Timothy 3:16 says
all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
So the copy of this Scripture was inspired by God.
So the belief of “OAO (Original Autograph Only) Proponent” that says that we need to look to the original autograph (that does not exist anymore) because it is perfect, and the copies are flawed and full of errors is unbiblical. Believers in God's Word can trust that God has preserved a copy of His Word for us today that is perfect (Which would be consistent in the way God operates involving the preservation of His Word). This then leads us to conclude that there must be a perfect Bible that we can find today. Most in the OAO camp do not believe any perfect Bible exists and so they must decide what the Bible correctly says and does not say. They are the one who are the ultimate arbiters of truth and not God’s Word.
Problem #2. The departure from the King James Bible with the Critical Text has led to the majority of Modern Bibles we have today (Which is influenced by the Vatican). If you are Catholic or you do not have a problem with the practices in the Catholic Church, then there is no point to read on further. But if you are not Catholic, and you disagree with Catholicism, then this point should greatly unsettle you.
For the ties to the Vatican involving Modern Bibles is like crazy extensive. It’s not just like one or two things. It’s a lot. It’s too much to ignore. The Modern Translations are based primarily upon two manuscripts (i.e. the Critical Text). One manuscript was found in an Orthodox monastery and the other one was found in a Catholic vault. These two manuscripts were used to create a New Testament Greek translation under Westcott and Hort (with one of them who was into Catholicism). Later in time, Nestle and Aland had created another NT Greek text using their work partially upon which Modern Translations are based now. This work was supervised by the Vatican this time with a Catholic cardinal being the editor.
Unlike the KJB, most of all your Modern Bibles comes from the Nestle and Aland’s Critical Text.
This constantly changing Critical Greek Text is under the direct supervision of the Vatican. They come right out and tell you this. They aren't even trying to hide it. Here is a photo of page 45 from right out of the Nestle-Aland 27th edition.

But Guess which Bible the Roman Catholic Church does NOT want you to read -

Undeniable Proof the ESV, NIV, NASB, Holman Standard, NET, Jehovah Witness NWT etc. are the new "Vatican Versions" by: Another King James Bible Believer
Note: I am aware this forbidden book of the Catholic church is an older version, and they have updated it. But the point here is that at one time, they considered the KJB to be a forbidden book.
Very interesting.
Side Note 1:
Oh, and yes, I know about Erasmus, but he was not exactly in agreement with many Catholic doctrines, and he was later rejected by the Catholic church and he died among his Protestant friends.
To learn more about Erasmus, check out this article
here.
Side Note 2:
Kurt Aland who worked on the Critical Text (under the supervision of the Vatican) can be seen with the pope here:
If you know American history involving the King James Bible, you would know that the KJB was the chosen Bible in public schools here in America. But riots broke out in certain cities throughout history on occasion over the Catholics trying to push their chosen Bible at the time in public schools. So obviously, the Catholic Church succeeded in a different way in their spin or influence on God’s Word with Nestle and Aland’s Critical Text (That was under their supervision).
I would also encourage you to check out this documentary here:
It shows that the Catholics tried to set off a super bomb to not only kill King James but they wanted to also stop the translation of the King James Bible (Which threatened their way of trying to keep the meaning of God’s Word with their special religious men only).

Problem #3. The Babel language approach to God’s Word.
We know at the Tower of Babel that God confused the languages so that they would spread throughout the globe. People have a hard enough time understanding each other in the English and you want them to understand and agree on the truth of God’s Word in a dead language? That’s too complicated of a task. We do not have an apostle Paul to correct us on our Biblical Greek, and we do not have a Moses to correct us on our Biblical Hebrew. Not all scholars agree and we are only guessing at best as to which interpretation might be the correct one in a dead language. We did not grow up in these cultures while they were alive writings and speaking them to truly know them with 100% certainty. Also, most who are for the Original Languages approach usually look to the corrupt Critical Text (Which is the wrong line of manuscripts influenced by the Vatican). Most often, those who are for the Original languages Only to interpret the Bible don’t like the Textus Receptus line of manuscripts (whereby the King James Bible comes from).
Problem #4. The KJB Wins When Comparing the KJB next to Modern Bibles.
(a) The KJB has Superiority of Doctrine (See
here).
(b) The devil’s name is placed wrongfully in Modern Bibles (Which is not the case for the KJB).
(See
here).
So there are two vines (or two lines of manuscripts). One good and one bad.
There are two bibles in Christian book stores today.
The Critical Text Modern Bibles (that all say something different).
The Textus Receptus Bible (the King James Bible).
