 I seem to remember that transition, and I left out pt_BR, because it was 
 already too much outdated at that time. So as someone who cannot read pt_BR 
 I 
 was unable to do this transition, and no translator was available for help. 
  
 If an automated conversion would have been  possible, I would have done it 
 at 
 that time already...

 That would be my best guess as well, yes. 
  
 Another idea: pt is in a very good state. Maybe you can copy that and *only* 
 do some sort of adaptions for pt_BR? (no clue how big the differences are, 
 but 
 I seem to remember that someone did it this way for another document). 
 Please keep the previous translators for pt listed in the files then.
