Guilherme, Leslie,
I'm Debian Project GNU C Library package developer. Leslie, I got the
following report from Guilherme that reported glibc.po in pt_BR
translation has a typo:

Hmm, I guess LDP-BR rejected my mail because I was not pt_BR
translation list members...

I'm one of GNU translation project maintainer, and Japanese co-TP
coordinator. From the view point of the maintainer, GNU translation
Project requires the disclaimer - so I don't want to apply Debian
specific local patch to each .po, before getting review from official
maintainers.

Thanks for your offer! The first step is to see at GNU translation
project: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/
I think it's the first step to subscribe pt_BR.po mailing list.
Leslie, could you coordinate Guilherme's activities?
Thanks in advance,
