Portuguese Technical Translation at BeTranslated
Brazil is a major industrial economy with a strong automotive, aerospace, and agribusiness sector, while Portugal is a growing hub for technology and renewable energy. Our Portuguese technical translators hold engineering and science qualifications and use CAT tools to deliver consistent, precise translations for both markets.
More about Portuguese Technical Translation
For operator training and commissioning in Portugal or Brazil, the written work can be paired with expert interpretation services, on site or through remote interpreting. If a state regulator or a European customs authority asks for type approvals, inspection reports and safety attestations in Portuguese, official certified translations can be added to the order; check the recipient's rules first.

Portuguese Technical Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover both Brazilian and European Portuguese for technical documents?
Yes. We have specialist translators for both variants. For technical documentation, the differences are primarily in terminology conventions for specific industries, which we manage through client-specific glossaries.
Can you handle Brazilian ABNT standard documentation?
Yes. Our Brazilian technical translators are familiar with ABNT (Associacao Brasileira de Normas Tecnicas) standards and the specific terminology used in Brazilian technical compliance documents.
How do you manage large-scale technical translation projects in Portuguese?
We use dedicated project teams, CAT tools, and centralized terminology management. For ongoing programs, we assign a permanent team to build deep institutional knowledge of your products.
Which CAT tools and source file formats do you support for Portuguese technical projects?
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .po, FrameMaker .fm, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content.
For Brazilian clients using ABNT-mandated documentation formats we work either through your TMS hooks or with a one-time roundtrip export. Existing TMX and TBX glossary assets are integrated to reduce cost and maintain consistency with previous releases.
Do your Portuguese technical translators sign NDAs for confidential engineering documents?
Yes. Every translator signs an NDA before receiving project files.
For sensitive material such as patents under preparation, unreleased product specifications, or proprietary agricultural or energy technology, we apply additional safeguards: project compartmentalization, no machine translation engines, encrypted transfer only, and an audit trail of document access. Multi-year NDAs and your standard supplier code of conduct are accepted on request.
