On the client side validation it looks like you have spelt the javascript
method name wrong in the form's onsubmit event. You can easily check the
client side by seeing what javascript has been generated for the page by
viewing the source.
For the sever side I can't see anything obviously wrong. Probably the best
approach would be to switch on "debug" level logging for the
RequestProcessor - it will tell you whats happening when it does the
processValidate() method.
The one thing I'm wondering is - do you have a "default" formset (i.e. one
with no language/country specified) in your validation.xml? In case it is
not using the pt_BR locale for some reason it would be a good idea to have a
default formset.
