Hooray! My wife is Brazilian and will be happy. It's Orkut we have to thank for this, you know: the social network was so wildly popular among Brazilians (who quickly became the overwhelming majority of users on a site originally designed--foolishly--as an English-only community) that Google recently opened up a sales operation in the land of bossa nova and right-wing death squads ... |
It's still has some language problems though. The thing ends up being an hybrid english-portuguese-brazilianportuguese site. And although fit for brazilian people (and their own portuguese language) it fails to reach all other portuguese-speaking countries, which use "standard portuguese" (or "European Portuguese", as you prefer to call it). |
