The Portugese language is a beautiful thing, with a sound that at once manages to capture some of the spirited soul of Spanish and the soft seduction of French.
Dual language tracks can be powerful things, working in much the same way as a duet can work to simultaneously capture, for example, a male and a female perspective.
I might not understand a lick of the Portugese lyrics, but I know that the language's inherent sound and feel marries with Bebel's style in a way that neither English nor any other language will ever be able to sing.

 Evaluation of Broad-Coverage Natural-Language Parsers
A broad-coverage parser diagrams any sentence of some natural language, or at least agrees to attempt to do so.
It may never be possible to compare all broad-coverage parsers of a given language in terms of a common coin of linguistic analysis.
Instead, practitioners will probably want to opt for highly accurate and rigorous performance statistics on their own systems alone, rather than extremely coarse-grained scores obtained from comparing their systems with others on the basis of laborious and even dubious technical compromise.

That particular language pack is missing many key files, as it was created for ExpressionEngine 1.2.1, so much work would be need to be done on it to give you everything you need.
We decided that old language packs that were no longer being updated didn’t serve a very useful purpose for our users, so we removed all of them that had not been updated since ExpressionEngine 1.4.
The language packs are all voluntarily translated and submitted and not an officially maintained resource performed by contract for hire, so no, there is no compensation other than the gratitude of like-lingual users, name recognition, and a link back to your site.

 Portuguese Keyboard: Keyboards By Hooleon
In today's international marketplace English is not always the preferred language of users and it doesn't have to be with Hooleon's Bilingual Keyboards.
You can either buy a "dedicated" keyboard that has the language layout "hard wired’ into it, or use conversion software and a "standard" keyboard (that's the type we sell), or inexpensive language labels.
Dedicated language keyboards cost more money and some are not readily available, of course they have this advantage; you can take your keyboard from one computer to the next (if it is the same brand computer) and just plug it in, ready to start typing.

 Overview of the Portuguese Language to Help You Learn Portuguese   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Portuguese language was also influenced by the consecutive invasions of Visigoths and Muslims in later years.
The language did not take hold until the Jesuits (who learned and promoted the Tupi and Guarani languages) were expelled in 1759 and the Tupi language was banned by the government.
Many of the differences can be attributed to the influence of the languages of the indigenous populations of Brazil and to the absorbtion of African words brought over by slaves.
