What changes when you translate Chinese to Portuguese
Translating Chinese into Portuguese changes more than the words. Portuguese differs noticeably between Brazil and Portugal in vocabulary and pronouns, marks gender on nouns, and often drops subject pronouns. Portuguese varies between the Brazilian and European standards, especially in pronouns like você and tu, so translations should stay consistent with one variety. A word-for-word tool gets the vocabulary right and these things wrong, which is why the translator above reads the whole sentence before it writes anything.
