    @marcelocripe Oh, one more small thing. I think when you see some text that is translated to pt_BR from English a bit “arrogant” or “rude”, I think that might be because English is very heavy on “nice words”, like repeated use of “Please” and explicitly indicating the person like “I”, “you”. But the English text is totally understandable without the extra “nice words”, yet, machine translation can go wrong without them. E.g. if I write “Sorry, I made a mistake!” but I leave out “I”, you will probably get a translation “YOU MADE A MISTAKE!”. While in original English it’s most likely obvious from the context who made the mistake. Without the “I” word too, despite the “correct grammar” absolutely requires it. Let’s try it.

    Sorry, made a mistake! Forgot the file totally!
