Besides what Patrick said, as project maintainer does not necessary know every languages in Zanata, 
you need help from language coordinators, who knows who can translate or review. 

For examples, language coordinator can grant user alice as Chinese (Simplified) language translators and reviewers 
because she knows how to translate to Chinese (Simplified) and can review Chinese translations.
