Hi Sylvain Chiron,
So I will translate the entire file, then do the corrections based on
context. I'm also going to translate the content of the site as shown on
the wiki.
I'm still not doing the merge of files, I know how to work with Tortoise
SVN and TFS from Microsoft, because I work with software development and I
have no problems with the command line.
I don't work with translations, do it because it needs to be done, in fact
I like development, but as there's not much support on the website to
Portuguese of Brazil, I will be devoting my time to solve it.
Regards,
Roberto Silva
