See here for lots of opinions and a few actual experiences:

Essentially, Babelcube is for people who want to translate books but who don't need (or want to) to generate an income from their translation.

Thanks, Samuel.

I almost fell over when I stumbled across the site.

my experience Sep 15, 2020

Hi,

I have translated a book on TekTime (an Italian version of Babelcube) and I agree with Samuel. However, it can be a good experience if you are a fresher. Also, if you choose a popular book or book topic, it will sell more easily.
Hope this helps !

Have a good day & stay safe
