Does translating count as "transformative"?

Like for fair use. Would singing, say, and English song in a different language (all homemade instrumentals) be counted as fair use?

I'm a freelance translator and I can tell you that is copyright infringement. Look at the copyright notice of many books, for example and you will see it specifically mentions translation as an example of infringement.

Okay, thank you.

Isn't there something about singing cover songs with your own music counting as fair use? Otherwise I don't see how so many people have cover channels.
