Native Brazilian translatorsEnglish to Portuguese translation, written by native Brazilians
Turn English documents, websites and marketing into Brazilian Portuguese that reads as if it was written in Brazil. Every project is translated by a native Brazilian Portuguese translator and reviewed by a second native linguist.
Why native translation matters for English to Portuguese
Machine translation can give you the gist of an English text in Portuguese, but Brazilian readers notice instantly when something was not written by a native speaker. Literal word order, the wrong level of formality, European Portuguese vocabulary or anglicisms that do not exist in Brazil all reduce trust — and in contracts or regulatory documents they can change the meaning.
Our translators are native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese who work from English every day. They translate meaning, not just words: they adapt idioms, dates, numbers, units and tone so the Portuguese version does the same job as your English original.

Brazilian Portuguese by default
Unless you ask otherwise, we translate into Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR), the variant used by more than 200 million people in Brazil and the most common choice for international business, software and online content. If your audience is in Portugal or Portuguese-speaking Africa, tell us — the differences are real, and we explain them in our guide Brazilian vs European Portuguese.
