Hi,

The word "sítio", instead of "site", is used across all the Brazilian
government documents. The recomendation from the "Manual de Redação e Estilo
da Presidência da República" (
http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/manual/manual.htm) is to avoid all
words from other languages if there is a word in Portuguese that means the
same.

ps.  "Manual de Redação e Estilo da Presidência da República" is the
official guide to the form and style of Brazilian Federal Government, like
the "U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual " (
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/stylemanual/browse.html).
