Hi, since Rodrigo left for a two week vacation, I'm assuming these
questions here in Conectiva.

We had this same problem in other lists and have noticed that one pt
version is not good for pt_PT and pt_BR, as an example. There are problems
mainly with technical terminology. In the GNU list we --- brazilian
translators, portuguese translators and the project coordinator, Francois
Pinard --- have decided to split into two teams: pt_PT and pt_BR. I can
see the same problems with Gnome project. 

All we want is to avoid doing the same work two times. Can we discuss it
better here? Or is a PVT discussion more apropriated? 

BTW, the URL in your message isn't working. Could you correct this or send
me one that works? I'd like to see what you have done so that we can have
the same viewpoint on this question.
