Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately this is a fairly challenging issue.
Our system is built by training of lots of parallel text. The first challenge is it can be hard to reliably identify the difference in language between Brazilian and European Portuguese, which makes it hard to separate the two data sets. Then even if we could, we'd run into the issue of whether the separated data sets would be big enough to build a quality system. So for now, I unfortunately don't have any good news, as it's unlikely we can accommodate you're request. If we ever find an effective way to do it, we'll certainly look into it. Cheers, Josh Estelle Senior Software Engineer Google Translate PS... if you're curious for more detail about how our system works, check out http://translate.google.com/about/ On Dec 15, 6:10 am, David Cowling wrote: > There are many differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese, > both in words, ie Pequeno Almoco and Cafe de Manha, also in verb > conjugation as in the present continuous.
