Ideia, I just noticed you helped to translate the Video Tutorials page into Portuguese! I wish I could speak Portuguese, and since I cannot, I must THANK YOU! :) -

Tank you, yes I speak Portuguese, I'm Portuguese and I hope to help translating your video Tutorials. ;)

if you view the instructions on Procedure to Create a Translation Page, you'll see that the tags're permitted only in the original english page, not in the translations:
- Now copy everything on the edit page except the bottom of the page tags. Tags will have a set of brackets around words. Click on "Save page."
there's no problem that you or anyone modify any page, provided you follow the rules laid down
