Question #185665 on Launchpad itself changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/185665

    Status: Open => Answered

David Planella proposed the following answer:
Looking at the current permission settings, Stoq is set to 'Structured',
but no translation group is assigned to it. I'm not sure what the result
of this combination is, but I guess either making the project
untranslatable save for project maintainers, or effectively open to
anyone. I suspect it is the first.

So what I would suggest is the following:

On https://translations.launchpad.net/stoq/+configure-translations
- Keep the Translations permission policy to 'Structured'
- Assign the Translation group to 'Launchpad Translators'
- Most importantly, announce that your project is up for translations. You can do it on a blog post, social networks, mailing list, etc, but do not forget to announce it in the launchpad-translators mailing list [1] at least.

You can always request the creation of a special translation group for
Stoq (*), but I'd recommend trying the Launchpad Translators group
first, if you're not happy with it, we'll create a new group for you.
The reasons why we do not directly encourage new groups is so that
projects can start off with a trusted and active set of translators and
to not create fragmentation in the translations community in Launchpad.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.

(*) Note that the setup you're describing with only one trusted team
(Brazilian Portuguese) it's only possible with a special translation
group for Stoq, as the Launchpad Translations group has already got
trusted teams for other languages that cannot be disabled. In any case,
I'd strongly discourage open translations, as they inevitably end up in
low quality translations, but it's your call as project maintainer.
