I wonder why. Doctors are expensive. Lawyers are expensive. Mechanics are expensive. Like translators, all jobs require years of study and a high level of professionalism, as translated documents are sometimes used in "official" capacities, like in court cases.
Sometimes up-and-coming translators will do projects like this to build a portfolio, but it usually is for something they are passionate about.
For something like a light novel, I wouldn't recommend using multiple translators, as they each will have their own style that might throw the reader off.
