Comment (by Nao):

 Inviting more translators to participate in plugin/theme translation for
 all locales is a great idea. In the
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/polyglots/p1598984583208700 Slack
 message] that mentioned this ticket and elsewhere, I often see
 plugin/theme authors struggling to find contributors for their products.

 I still think we should stick with increasing the core translators only
 for inactive teams (even including "behind one major version" teams) since
 the bar for approving translation is usually higher for core and getting
 their first contribution rejected because of not fully understanding the
 style guide & glossary is not a very pleasant experience for newbies. This
 is not the case for inactive teams – global mentors can vet and promote
 them eventually.

 @pedromendonca's Translation Tools plugin is indeed useful, I like the
 extra information about the translation package.
