What types of translations do we allow?

If, for example, I have a verse that I want to add to the wiki, and I have all the scans in the original language (Japanese), but it is not officially translated into English.
Are translations of the scans in general allowed, if they are done by humans? Are translations done by AI allowed? Well, as such, what translations are allowed on this wiki?
 
Additionally, while official translations are preferred, fan translations that are of good and very reliable quality will also be accepted. For works that have not been officially translated, the use of original raw texts and associated translations is preferred, but it should be noted that for fully fan translated works like Visual Novels, Web Novels, etc., it may not be practical or feasible for participants to locate raw texts for the entire work and present them alongside the scan. In situations where the reliability of publicly available material is in question, the analysis of re-translations performed by members of the VSBW may be used as a means of evaluation. However, it should be noted that these translations may not necessarily be considered superior to official translations and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
