Portuguese into English translations
For translations from Portuguese into English, the ideal translator will be a native English speaker with professional knowledge of Portuguese. It is worth remembering an interesting fact from the Brazilian culture. Because Brazilians have great self-confidence, they may be tempted to translate from Portuguese into English translations. Make sure this doesn’t happen in your translation project. Even Brazilians who have lived most of their lives in an English-speaker country will not be able to write in English as well as someone educated in English from birth.

Keeping Themselves Updated
