Hi All, I have to agree with Rahkonen Jukka that the GeoServer translation is not something simple, and a student (beginner) would not be able to do it in an acceptable way.
As for the alternative methods to make it work, I have a blog post since 2016 teaching how to delete the "GeoServerApplication_en_properties" files, however my question is: "Why leave something in GeoServer that is not correct?" Why not withdraw until the translation is 100% complete? Not all Brazilians who download GeoServer access my blog, and find out how to fix this problem. Today the file "GeoServerApplication_en_properties" is very bad as it mixes 3 languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish). I honestly do not understand why the resistance of removing the files, considering that it is not a translation of pt- BR. I unfortunately do not have the time to do the translation, otherwise I would have done it!
