I saw the «expected» as superfluous, but now that I reread it the old 
translation might be more exact, so I would recommend choosing that one.

False friend on my part, so yes that should be «gravidade».

I see it implied with the «:», so I wouldn't include it.

Same thing as the first question. This one should also be kept

Yes, you can use these, although I would change «confirmar» to «continuar».

I wouldn't bother. Besides, «ca» is a more direct translation of «in».
