I'm not even in Death Note fandom, but I do know that Light is not a translation of Raito. His actual name (confirmed by the mangaka) is the English word "light", not any Japanese word or name. The confusion comes from an English word being rendered in kanji and then transliterated back into roman characters by scanlaters.

Characters call him "Raito" in the anime for the same reason they call Alucard "Arucard" and Edward Elric "Edo". They can't pronounce it properly, English-speaking fans can and should.

Ah, I know, I just phrased that badly... I know his official name from the mangaka is "Light," I just first saw it as Raito and can't help thinking that still makes more sense when it comes to just character names in general. Raito seems more like... a name, whereas Light seems to fit more in with the pattern set by "L," "Mello," and "Near," which are all fake names. I'm aware that it is actually Light, and I do use Light, I just... prefer Raito because it makes more sense to me. XD;

(Shortass tangent here, but it's the same in Tsubasa, really. Scanslators and even official translations flip-flopped back and forth between "Fai" and "Fye," and the official, Clamp-sanctioned spelling turned out to be FAY. Which... as an English-speaking fan, that's pronounced completely differently to me. The spelling always makes me think Fay as in, like, Faye Valentine, so I much prefer the unofficial spellings, even if I do try to use the official canon spelling.)
