How would I go about getting someone to translate a Light Novel or two or three?

So you know how Bubblegum Crisis has a bunch of fairly obscure written work, as of yet untranslated after all these years? The Toshimichi Suzuki Light Novels Silent Fanfare and Break Down-48, the silly manga Go Go Sabers, and the 2012 schoolgirl AU Hard Metal Guardians? I'm not counting the ADP manga, since those have translations but are just hard to find on the internet. (I know of a massive VK archive of BGC photos that had pictures of the ADP manga, actually, but you have to create an account to access them now, and I'm uncertain about doing such a thing in light of the Russian conflict.)
Well. I Have Them. And at the pestering of one guy on reddit, and upon realizing that scanning itself shouldn't be that hard, I've decided to take a crack at getting these babies scanlated. Or, at least scanned. The problem is I don't know what to do about the 'lating side.
So... do I need to commission a translator? Where would I do that? I'm sure there's a process here and I was just wondering if anyone knows what that process is. Thanks.
