I checked the source file in Sarge and the
translation you are using were made by another project
called LDP-BR (Linux Documentation Project Brazil), the
translators used to work on Conectiva Linux, another
distro that recently join forces with Mandrake Linux.
We are working on -l10n-portuguese to "balance"
our translation effort and reorganize our team and our
work methodology. Is it possible to give us a couple
of days so we can check the translations and decide the
best solution?

In a quick "overview", looks like that there
are some information that could mislead users,
specially some "parameters" for some commands.

We just have to decide, but, sounds like a better
choice, the potfile is cleaner than the manpages, and also
allow "updates" in the future. And, if you can export the
potfile with the actual translation I don't see why we
shouldn't use this option. :o)
The -l10n-portuguese has the final word, but I'm
feeling that we are going to work with po4a. We just need
some _extra_ days to update the files, is it OK for you to
wait?

Good!!!

Thank you to contact us! :)
