If there's no payment upfront, in europe, translators tend to get one third the amount of royalty authors get (if the author gets 15%, the translator get 5%). Translators do not have to format/edit though.... I guess if an Indy author wants someone to take care of that as well the percentage will go up. Since there's no further costs 50-50 doesn't sound unreasonable.
