English to Portuguese translation tips

Portuguese varies between the Brazilian and European standards, especially in pronouns like você and tu, so translations should stay consistent with one variety. English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
This bundle defaults to contemporary Brazilian Portuguese. European Portuguese differs in address forms, pronoun placement, progressive constructions and everyday vocabulary.
Brazilian você addresses the listener but normally takes third-person singular agreement. Do not combine it accidentally with second-person verb forms or te without a deliberate regional or informal choice.
Portuguese verbs encode person, tense and mood, so subject pronouns may be omitted. Requests and time clauses often require forms that do not match the English tense word for word.
Pronoun placement changes with register. Sentence-initial me is natural in informal Brazilian messages, while edited formal prose may call for a different placement or construction.
