"if you guys can tell if a translation is wrong, then isn't it possible to make your own translations?"

Theoretically yes, but translating can take a lot of time depending on the complexity of the song, or how hard the ideas are to express properly. There are very normal ways of saying things in Japanese that are hard to make sound natural in English, so even a song that may look simple can actually be difficult. Unless someone is devoting a ton of time to this, it can be hard to work on all the songs you might want to. It's much faster to check someone else's work by comparison.
