The rumor is true. Have a look at Perseus:

I like Mandelbaum, too, but if you are looking for a very literal
translation, you probably can't do better than Levi Hart and V. R. Osborn's
interlinear translation (which also sets the words into prose order). The
only problem is, it's copyright 1882 and long out of print. But you can
sometimes pick them up at library sales.
