Wait -- so the real context (which, as Ramiro noted, you left out) is
# settings.py
LANGUAGES = (('pt_BR', _("Português")),)
Is it? Or is it
LANGUAGES = (('pt_BR', "Português"),)
If it is the former, then this is a generic issue of translatable strings --
nothing to do with settings.LANGUAGES. It is usually assumed that, if you are
making a string translatable, you write it in English -- then it's ASCII and
all's well.
If it is the latter, please provide more details about the specific error you
encountered (stack traces etc).
