Release using transliteration or English translation rather than the original Cyrillic recording names

I am trying to add this Bandcamp exclusive compilation by Solitude Productions to MB. It contains recordings from the first ten years of their catalogue.

Recording and artist names include both Latin and Cyrillic script names. The problem is that, in this release, they used Latin script transliterations and English translations for some recordings and artist names. For instance:

Track 1:

Осенняя река by Океан Печали becomes “Autumn River - Ocean Of Sorrow”,

or

Track 89:

Начало by Septic Mind becomes “Septic Mind - The Beginning”.

My question is: How do I add these titles? For the artist names, I could use “Artist in MusicBrainz / Artist as credited” fields, but what should I do with the recordings? Do I use the original names for those? Is there a relationship type, such as “Transliterated”, that I could use for recordings?

I would select the existing recordings rather than creating new ones. So there are no issues with that.

You should use the English or transliterated titles as track titles, but do NOT “update the recording title to match the track title” in the Recordings tab.

That makes sense, thank you.
