Brazil — The Leader in Portuguese Speaking Countries
Pedro Cabral, the first European leader to arrive in Brazil in the 14th century, discovered a land of plenty when he landed and brought with him the seeds of the Portuguese language that today powers the largest and most prosperous economy in Latin America.
Speaking and writing in Portuguese continues to be the key to unleashing the commercial, economic, and cultural treasures of not only Brazil, but Portugal and many African and East Asian countries.
These populations are expected to grow substantially in the near future. According to UNESCO, Portuguese and Spanish are the fastest growing European languages in the world (after English).

Language of Plenty
​The beauty of the Portuguese language has been extolled by the likes of Miguel Cervantes (Don Quixote) and playwrights over many centuries. Today, it is a modern and vibrant language, full of potential for companies, academics and scientists and many other endeavors.
Brazil by itself is an economic powerhouse in its own right that belongs the so-called BRIC  countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). These are countries which together are expected to eclipse the combined economies of the developed nations in the future. Portugal is a member of the European Union and as such offers a gateway to the European market.
Things to consider when translating into or from Portuguese
  • There are two main dialects of Portuguese. Modern Standard European Portuguese with its roots in central Portugal and Standard Brazilian Portuguese based in the area surrounding Rio de Janeiro, in southern Brazil. Even though speakers of both dialects will understand each other, there are grammar and terminology differences that must be taken into account in the translation process.
  • Portuguese, as with other Romantic languages, will have an expanded word count in combinations such as English to Portuguese translation or German to Portuguese translation. This could affect document formatting in some cases.
  • The Portuguese translation team that works on your document must master the nuances of the discipline. For instance, a legal document should be translated by a specialized legal Portuguese translator.
  • Portuguese uses some special characters and as such your document should use compatible font sets.
If you are looking for new and exciting markets or new vendors, the Portuguese language can unlock the potential in important industries such as aeronautics, petroleum, electronics, chemicals, mining, and commodities in Brazil to tourism, agriculture, forestry and other commodities in Portugal. Call to talk to our experts at LanguageTran who can help you by providing excellence in Portuguese translation services.
