Challenges of Translation into Portuguese

Portuguese speakers from different parts of the world understand each other's spoken language without any problem. This makes oral communication between speakers from different Portuguese-speaking countries easier. There are, however, differences in written communication between the different geographic areas.

For example, European/African Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese differ substantially in terminology and syntax. Therefore, the different language variants should be taken into consideration when texts are translated for different Portuguese-speaking countries.

In African countries, European Portuguese is preferred in written communication. Portuguese is the official language in Angola and the most widely spoken language in Mozambique. Based on UNESCO studies, the language is expected to spread even further on the African continent.

Translators from English to Portuguese must be very familiar with the differences in the financial, technical, and legal terminology between European and Brazilian Portuguese. When selecting a translator for your project, we always take into consideration both the professional area and the language variant. This is how we ensure that every one of our translations is of high quality.

We also, of course, translate from Brazilian Portuguese into English. We can even provide certified and notarized translations of government documents (birth certificates, licenses, etc.) for the USCIS and other official entities.
