+Hi Sérgio and welcome to Mageia's internationalisation team!
+
+Sorry for the late answer, but your mail reached the mageia-i18n
+mailing list only yersterday. I guess you were not subscribed to the
+list when you sent your mail. Please subscribe to the mailing list[1],
+it is necessary for us to be able to coordinate the work of the
+various teams; there is not an enormous amount of traffic on this
+mailing list, but if you fear so you can set up filters in your
+webmail or mail client.
+

+> Looking at wiki I don´t see any team for Portuguese, but when checking at
+> svn I can see that ze has made some commits.
+>
+> Is anyone working in Portuguese translation? I can help in my free time.
+
+As he wrote a few hours ago, simplew is also a new Portuguese
+translator, so it would be great if you could organise your work
+together.
+
+The general process for translation is:
+
+- software: All Mageia software that we have to translate are on our
+Subversion repository, and you can find the links to the PO files
+here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/List_of_Mageia_transifex_projects (On
+our wiki you can read about Transifex, which we used for the string
+translation before the release of Mageia 2, but it is now kind of
+broken and we are thinking about finding another solution, so for now
+we're back to the SVN). If you are not used to translating PO files,
+don't hesitate to ask for support here or on #mageia-i18n on IRC. Once
+you have translated a PO file, it has to be commited to the SVN
+repository to be included in the next version of the software. Your
+team has no member with commit rights for the moment, so you will have
+to send your translations to a fellow translators with commit rights
+(the simplest way is to send your translation to the i18n mailing list
+asking for someone to commit it). Once we are sure that there is at
+least one active and reliable contributor in the pt translation team
+we will grant him/her commit rights.
+
+- website: See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Internationalisation_Team_(i18n)#Website_translation
+and don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear.
+
+- wiki: translation is on hold for now; more information about this in
+the coming days/weeks.
+
+- blog: There is already a Portugese blog for Mageia. I think it may
+be pt_BR though, since we don't have many Portugese contributors for
+now. You could contact the blog translators to have more information
+about it.
