Is there a way to translate these streams and videos, they always have great info but I always have to wait for someone to translate it on here.

The episode about J-35A is #349
Then use AI multilingual model translate tool such as WhisperDesktop
You can get a pretty good result if you know the reference and context.
Just bear in mind it's a podcast so useful info is half or less but you still need to go through the whole thing to short it out.

Horizontal tail design looks possibly different to what the J-35 has?

More specifically, the J-35 (naval variant) has a pair of non-moving tail booms and the horizontal tails are attached to the outside of the tail booms. This picture of the J-35A looks like it could be that the horizontal tail and the back end of the tail booms are one single piece that pivots together, similar to what the F-35 has (pic attached)

This would align with a few online comments I’ve seen that mentions the horizontal tail design of the J-35A as well as that one paper from 601 years back that discussed something called “自平衡铰链平尾” or roughly “self-balancing hinge-type horizontal tail” (pic from paper also attached)

You're right. The question is will this modification added to naval J-35 as well.
Also I didn't notice any EODAS, but since the EOTS is also still just a mock up perhaps they just haven't installed it yet.

Just realized that J-35A has four actuators under the wings so the flaps can be controlled independently. They are tiny though.

It might has EODAS like J-20 after all

中国航空工业集团沈阳所首席专家王永庆将歼-35A定位于“组织后卫”。他在接受央视军事采访时表示：“歼-35A有自己的发展脉络和用户需求。我把它视为（篮球场上）组织后卫的角色，它既要有强大的得分能力，同时也要看清场上局势。除了自身作战平台，它还可以形成战场上的杀伤网，发挥更多更重要的作用。”

Google Translate:
Wang Yongqing, chief expert of the Shenyang Institute of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, positioned the J-35A as a "point guard". In an interview with CCTV Military, he said: "The J-35A has its own development context and user needs. I regard it as the role of a point guard (on the basketball court). It must have strong scoring ability and can also see the situation on the court clearly. In addition to its own combat platform, it can also form a killing network on the battlefield and play more and more important roles."
