The current publisher might not have rights for the target language market. You'd have to target publishers in that language market with a petition. Then it might be up to the author.
The publishing system is a bit broken.
Even the world English language market is artificially broken into regions where some publishers have secretly agreed not to compete. Common between some big USA and UK publishers.
See also region coding on DVDs, BD and games, where even when a publisher has world wide rights they want to chop up the markets to better exploit them. That is evil.
