Some may wonder if mantras like Manjushri and Ksitigarbha, as well as Sarva Nivaranavishkhambhin, Tara, Avalokiteshvara, Akashagarbha, Maitreya, Vajrapani, Samantabhadra can be recited without initiation? I would guess yes, but am not certain.

Where can one find translated versions of any long version of these others, so they can be recited?

As long as they have been in sutras they can be recited without initiation. Not sure if Vajrapanis mantra was in a sutra, but maybe. I think FMPT might have some materials you are looking for.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.
