*Familiarize yourself with the Brazilian Portuguese Viewer (1.23.4) first. It is quite different from the one you're used to and many terms have changed. Please follow what's in it. If you have suggestions or things you really disagree with, do not incorporate them in your translations. Rather, send a note in SL or an e-mail to Noelle Linden (noelle@lindenlab.com). | |||
'''A Few Brazilian Portuguese Specifics:''' | |||
*Always use this quotation mark: ' . Please, do not use curly quotes or double quotes. Also use a non breaking space before colons : | |||
*In English, UI elements often use caps, but in Brazilian Portuguese, only the first world of the UI will be capitalized. | |||
*In English, there is a double space after a period. In Brazilian Portuguese, a single space will be used. | |||
*Use this format: L$ not this format L $. | |||
*Finally, whenever you see long, unclear sentences in English, try to make the Brazilian Portuguese simpler and clearer. Convey the meaning, but not the poor style... | |||
