There are some points about I would like know your opinion:

A) About the language names to use at the webapp heading,
   should we replace "Português" by "Português (Europeu)", or
   better by "Português (Portugal)" ?.

   Note we are going to add the Brazilian one too. I hope
   Fatima will carry out such task.

   Let me know if I am right:

     There are two Portuguese languages:
        "Portuguese (European?)"  pt_PT
        "Portuguese (Brazilian)" pt_BR

      "Portuguese (European?)" is official at:
           Portugal (PT)
           Angola (AO)
           Cape Verde (CV)
           Guinea-Bissau (GW)
           Mozambique (MZ)
           São Tomé and Príncipe (ST)

      "Portuguese (European?)" is co-official at:
           Macau (MO)
           East Timor (TL)

      "Portuguese (Brazilian)" is official at:
           Brazil (BR)

   However, if "Portuguese (European)" is used too at
   Angola, Mozambique, etc. should it name be
   "Portuguese (Portugal)" or just "Portuguese"
   instead of "Portuguese (European)" ?.

   I am not sure, but as the code is pt_PT I think the
   best option would be "Portuguese (Portugal)" ?.

     Ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language


B) To avoid confusion, when we list a language in job
   offers, I think that maybe we should modify the data base
   to use?:

     pt_PT, Portuguese (Portugal?)
     pt_BR, Portuguese (Brazilian)

 instead of just:

     pt, Portuguese


C) I suppose you use aspell to check the translations.



P.S.: It seems http://www.gnu.org/home.pt.html is a Brazilian translation :)
