Translation Best Practices

Always use European Portuguese (pt-PT) for the Portuguese market, as Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) differs significantly in vocabulary, grammar, and tone.
Maintain a respectful and clear tone, especially for product descriptions and customer service communications.
Localize currency (EUR) and measurement units (metric system) meticulously.
Be mindful of cultural nuances; avoid direct translations that might lose meaning or sound unnatural.
Ensure all legal and privacy policies are accurately translated and compliant with Portuguese and EU regulations.
