Specialties
European Portuguese is spoken in Portugal, in all Portuguese-speaking African countries and East Timor. Brazilian Portuguese is a different variant, with different terminology and syntax.
These two variants are very different and not interchangeable.
So before choosing a language provider, it is essential to determine the country where the text is to be used.
