VisualEditor replaced the good namespace "Imagem" by "Ficheiro", which is
worse.
The word "Ficheiro" is not appropriated here:
* It is not used in the pt-BR variant, so per discussion in the community it
should be avoided whenever it is possible[1][2]. And it is always possible to
be avoid this word if the file is an image (because "Imagem" is a common word
in pt-BR and pt-PT);
* It replaced a precise description of the file by a generic one. There is
nothing wrong in saying that "Foo.PNG" is a image.
