What matters when translating Portuguese into English?

If you need to translate from Portuguese to English, or translate a document from Portuguese, the translator needs more than the words alone. Names, dates, specialist terminology, regional language and the intended use of the English version can all affect the finished translation.

Names and official spellingsProvide passport spellings, previous English versions or other references where names must remain consistent.
Portugal Portuguese vs Brazilian PortugueseThis page is primarily for European Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese projects should use the dedicated Brazilian Portuguese route.
Specialist terminologyLegal, financial, medical, technical and business projects should be matched to the relevant subject matter.
Intended English useTell the project team whether the translation is for internal use, publication, a client or an official submission.
Portuguese source documents

Translate documents from Portuguese into English

For a document issued in Portuguese, send the complete source rather than isolated screenshots where possible. That gives the translator the context needed to handle headings, stamps, tables, names and repeated terminology consistently. If a receiving organisation requires certification, use the certified Portuguese route instead of treating it as a general translation.
