Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and several other countries, and most of its speakers live in Brazil. An English to Portuguese translator helps with a hotel in Lisbon, a market in Rio or a message to a supplier in São Paulo.
Brazilian and European Portuguese share their grammar and spelling rules but differ in everyday words, pronouns and pronunciation. Portuguese also marks gender, so even thank you changes with the speaker. TapTranslate works in both directions, so you can read a Portuguese message and answer in Portuguese without leaving the app.
Spoken by more than 250 million people, most of them in Brazil, with about 10 million in Portugal and millions more in Angola, Mozambique and other countries.
Written in the Latin alphabet, left to right, with the cedilla in ç, the tilde in ã and õ, and accents such as á, â, é and ô.
Type or paste English and read it in Portuguese, or the other way around. Works online, and offline with a downloaded pack.
Speak in turns and hear each translation read aloud, when your iPhone supports Portuguese speech.
Point at printed Portuguese on a menu, a sign or a label and read it in English, drawn over the original.
Type in English in any app and send it in Portuguese with one tap.
Scan a letter or open a PDF and read every page translated, with the layout kept.

Many everyday words differ: a bus is an ônibus in Brazil and an autocarro in Portugal, and a train is a trem in Brazil and a comboio in Portugal. Both are standard Portuguese, so a translation is not wrong, just regional.
In most of Brazil, você is the everyday you. In Portugal, tu is for friends and family, and with strangers people often say o senhor or a senhora or leave the pronoun out. Check that the translation fits the person and the country before you send it.
On doors, puxe means pull and empurre means push, the opposite of what many English speakers guess. Other false friends include esquisito, which means strange, and pretender, which means to intend.
