R devel - Jun 2009 - Portuguese translation problem (PR#13756)

Full_Name: Adriano Azevedo Filho
Version: 2.9.0
OS: Windows Vista
Submission from: (NULL) (201.68.79.62)


The error message produced when the function name typed in the console is
misspelled in the Portuguese translation. This is not a new issue but as it is
around for sometime I've decided to report. As this is a frequent message
when
beginners start using R, it gives an unfortunate bad impression on the overall
quality of the software which is excellent.

The actual message (with the translation error) is:

Erro: n?o foi posss?vel encontrar a fun??o "functionname"

The correct message should be:

Erro: n?o foi poss?vel encontrar a fun??o "functionname"

You were asked to report problems with translation to the appropriate 
translation team: see the section 'How to report a bug' of the FAQ.

For Brazilian Portuguese the translator listed is 
Fernando Henrique Ferraz P. da Rosa <feferraz at ime.usp.br>, not it 
seems far from you.  The Brazilian Portuguese translations are 
drifting out of date, so he may appreciate offers of assistance.

In this case the word is spelled inconsistently in the translations so 
I am confident enough to make the change, but in general the R 
developers have outsourced language expertise to the translation 
teams.
