Sure, and by comparing the english translation and
the portuguese translation, we can get texts with more quality.
I'll send you the translation kit in pvt (and also anyone
interested in help).
Please note that translating Shalom is very difficult,
because it has a lot of jokes, including some word jokes which are
nearly impossible to translate from japanese. For example, the word
play between mabuta (=eyelid) and buta (=pig), in the introduction
of the game.
