Folks, Adding to the below post, I must say I am really sad and baffled with this translation to the Portuguese language.
It is an absurd that we, millions of European Portuguese speakers worldwide, are forced to read and listen translations from any other language into Brazilian Portuguese. That has simply nothing to do with us. And it is a social injustice that other world peoples get convinced that Brazilian pronunciation is the only one available! Nobody cares about Portugal, African countries and other Portuguese- speaking communities around the world outside of Brazil? Honestly, is Google joking with us? You should rebrand the Portuguese version as 'Brazilian Portuguese' and create an 'European Portuguese' option with the correct spellings and pronunciation. Developers must remember that despite the due-to-come into effect 1990 orthographic agreement, there is a double spelling status which will remain in many words, for example. Besides, we don't use many Brazilian words, not to mention using it in the way they do it, so this should be corrected as well. I don't care if I am a lonely voice, but I must cry out loud anyway : Google, for the sake of us all, please create a European Portuguese translation option! The present situation is completely wrong, unfair, ridiculous, biased, one-sided and slanted.
