Crunchyroll licences anime for simultaneous streaming (simultaneous with the
Japanese TV airing, in some cases), so it should have early access to the
material to be translated.

I won't touch on how they do it or who does it; what I am interested in
knowing is:

Is the translation shown in CR to be taken as the official translation?

Can Crunchyroll's translations (subtitles, dubs, manga) be considered official translations?


Since Crunchyroll has a license from the copyright owner, the content
(including cuts / edited video, subtitles, translations, overlay text,
dubbing) available is considered official.

Even though Crunchyroll does the translation, the translation is owned by the
anime studio. Also, sometimes the studio chooses how some terms are
translated.
