My
no notions of the Portuguese language allowed me to get a vague idea but would not let me go into details, find out further the matter. I turned ... I thought The Red Foliot , I remembered that on one occasion when I told my little problems to translate, understand a comment ectrito in Portuguese, he offered to help if returned to me in another little problem or trouble with a text this language.
As you can see right away this time it was not a small little problem of no importance, but the request of a big favor, because I asked him to translate a long text, so on my whims, and over the hill. The Red Foliot , which must be one of those extraordinary beings can with everything put them ahead, he replied that he would be happy to just turn a trip to Lisbon was about to embark. A journey that certainly comes as a serial counting by chapters on his blog, entitled " The perfect tourist: Lisbon revisited " and without hesitation recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the adventures of this perfect tourist.
Then I leave you with your translation work. Thanks a million, Foliot.
