Localization notes for Brazillian Portuguese

[Space-G]

I found that most of my notes are about references that were translated differently than their original title.

---

Original Name	Current translation	Suggested translation	Reasoning
Gantry and Dolly	Pórtico e Dolly	Grua e (Trilhos | Carro | Vagão | Carrinho)	Aesthetics, and personally less confusing but this one is abstract
V Stitch	Ponto V	Costura V	Keeps the meaning, reduces ambiguity. Avoids confusion with "G Spot" (Evita assimilação a "Ponto G" mantendo o significado)
The Tomb of Mad Carew	A tumba de Mad carew	A tumba de Mad Carew	Capitalization (Capitalização)
As You Like It	Como gostais	Como você gosta	More close to how humans actually speak nowadays The localization is correct
Shockwave Rider	Cavaleiro Shockwave	Shockwave Rider	Keeps the reference to the book that wasn't released in portuguese (Mantém a referência ao livro de título Shockwave Rider)
On the [VW]aterfront	À [bv]eira-mar	Sindicato de La[dv]rões OU [VS]indicato de Ladrões	Keeps the reference to the movie, using it's released title here (Mantém a referência ao filme On the Waterfront)
Vwitched	V Feiticera	Vwitched	Although Bewitched (the sitcom) is a great reference, I believe it was originally a reference to the Bwitched girl group (Embora A Feiticeira seja uma ótima referência, muda o significado original, que é a referência à Girl Group Bwitched) The localization is correct
The Voon Show	O show de voons	The Voon Show	Keeps the reference to the british radio show (Mantém referência ao show humorístico de rádio The Voon Show)
The 9 O'Clock News	Notícias das 9 horas	Jornal das 9	"Jornal" instead of "notícias" because that's how we call the program that shows the news on TVs and Radios. It's also what "newspaper" is called. The omission of the word "horas" (hours) is due to how we refer to programs in radios and television. (O jornal é autoexplicativo, a omissão da palavra "horas" reflete o jeito comum de falar sobre programas de televisão.)
Panic Room	Sala de Pânico	O quarto do pânico	Keeps the reference to the 2002 movie, using it's released pt-br name (Mantém a referência ao filme Panic Room, cujo nome em pt-br é O quarto do pânico)
Cosmic Creepers	Trepadeiras cósmicas	Crepúsculo Cósmico	Is the name of the cat in the brazillian dubbed version of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, keeping the original reference. (É o gato da bruxa aprendiz Eglantine Price, no filme Se a minha Cama Voasse, dublado em pt-br.)
The Sensible Room	A sala sensível	A sala sensata	It's a false cognate*
Brass sent us under the top	Bronze nos enviou abaixo do topo	O alto comando nos enviou	Translates "Brass" as the metal, instead of the military slang*
Vertigo	Vertigem	Um Corpo que Cai	Vertigo translates correctly, but the movie had a different title in PT-BR*

On the "Vwitched" thing: Bennett Foddy confirmed that it was a reference to the sitcom. In turn, the likely intended pronunciation is "vee-witched". See https://vsix.dev/wiki/Room_name_explanations#The_Final_Level

I wasn't aware of this resource, thank you!

I've changed the original post to cross out what was correctly localized originally.

These have not come back in time for 2.4, but I'll poke our PTBR translators about addressing them for 2.4.1.

[Space-G]

I can do it if you'd like me to.

Only reason I haven't yet is 'cause a teacher once said that I should ask permission before working on OSS...

Do I have permission?

Thank you, but only the translators can approve changes to the translations!

... actually, never mind - a pull request would be very much appreciated, thank you!
